Whitman Poem
Does anyone know the name of the Walt Whitman poem in the opening?
Thanks
I think you are referring to:
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game- the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and a blessing to us."
If so, it's not a poem;it's a written quotation from him made in 1846.Unfortunately, I don't believe the companion book to the series footnotes the original source of the quote.
or maybe the one with the line
let us go forth awhile and fill our lungs with air, for the game of ball is glorious
not exact quote but close
