The College News Vol. XVIII, No. 7 WAYNE AND BRYN MAWR, PA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1931 Price, 10 Cents Synge Play Presented Here By Abbey Players Interpretation Has Depth and Poetry, But Dialect Is Hard to Follow. COMPARED TO CONCERT One of the largest audiences we have ever seen in Goodhart attended the per- formance of the Ahbey Players on No- vember 10, and the many who had been attracted by the promise of "musical speech" could not have been disappointed. For the Irish dialect with its falling cadences and pure vowel sounds was a far cry and a welcome one, from the "snuf- fling nasality" of a vitaphone age. Per- haps the most outstanding characteristic of the Irish speech is its power of con- veying sympathy, through its flexibility and softness. Then, too, no opportunity for variety of tonal color is lost, although the key is always minor. Many of the words, as, lor example, the name Flaherty', have 00 accentuation, and so heighten the flowing effect of the whole. Listening to the players, then, was like listening to music, but unfortunately there are other reasons for drawing the analogy between the performance and a concert; for often the dialect was as vnid of literal associa- tion as is a piece of music. By that we mean simply that no words could be dis- tinguished. Of course, we have always the acoustics of Goodhart to blame, but even these do not normally muffle sound- in the middle of the first section. What we have most to regret in the present case is the fact that a play was not'chosen whose language would be more under- standable to those unacquainted with the Irish idiom. For instance, such sentence structure as "And it's lies you told,.let- ting on you had him slitted, and you nothing at all," is not easily grasped, but when it is combined with such words as "loy" we can hardly be�expected to gather how a nian killed his father, or even that he did at all. And the fact that the "Ris- ing of the Moon" was. given almost in total darkness was of little assistance to us in following the plot, since very little of the action was visible. Moreover, no play, and certainly not this one, which, to us at least, is sentimental without the re- deeming Irish qualities of wit and imagi- nation, can be made to depend on lines alone, however melodious the voices may be. And we were disappointed not to find in these the naturalness which one would expect from a company which has been playing together for a long time, and which is so necessary to the establishment of whatever atmosphere there is in the play; Mr. F. J. McCormick was stiff even for a sergeant, and showed none of Continued on rage Seven Drs. Fenwick and Wells Speak Armistice Day War Result of International System; Co-operation of Nations Necessary. FUTURE UP TO YOUTH On Armistice Day last Wednesday there was a special chapel in Goodhart conducted by Professors Fenwick and Wells. Dr. Fenwick opened by ex- pressing the belief that it is the inter- national system not the heart of human nature that is all wrong, and Dr. Wells said that it was up to the present gen- eration to remove the "shadow of war from the face of time." "It is thirteen years since the end of the World War." began Dr. Fen- wick, the end of four years of suffer- ing when 10,000,000 nun were dead or dying and 20,000.000 more were dead of hunger, disease and privation. The tragedy of the war was the-tragedy of nations honestly lighting in self- defense. There was much glamour connected with the marching troops going toward death but the real feel- ing of the people at the time is illus- trated by the following incident: A peasant woman was weeping in a trol- ley in Berlin and as she had difficulty in untying her handkerchief to pay the guard her fare he a.wked her what was wrong. Her answer was simple but it held all the misery of despair as she said: "My ,ytfui is gone to the war." The view of a suffering human was that war took from her the one thing that made life worth living. One cannot believe that the heart of man is all wrong, yet it is bad when you get people killing each other con- vinced that they arc lighting in defense of their own liberties. There must be something wrong with the whole sys- tem that allows Midi tilings to occur. How can we remedy it? The day can come when we will .say to each nation "You shall not be the judge in your own case." At that time a whole Com- munity of nations in common council shall take control of the nations. In 1914 the interest of each country was its own worry but we now sec that on grounds of material and eco- nomic interest other countries must be considered. Down in the hearts of people such interests that cut across the national lines draw us together in a bond. "In conclusion," said Dr. Fen- wick, "I suggest that we give ourselves1 to this cause and realize that individual self-seeking must give way to a new order of co-operation." Continued on 1'uge Four # % �'; WB Alwyne Recital President Park and the Direc- tors of Bryn Mawr College take great pleasure in announcing that Mr. Horace Alwyne is giv- ing a recital to the college and its friends on Monday, Novem- ber 23, at 8:20. The recital originally to be given in the Music Room will be held in Goodhart Auditorium in order that a larger audience may, be accommodated. No ticket is re- quired for admission. Sabatini Speaks on "Fiction in History" Vanity, Propaganda, Ignorance Influence Historians to Create Fiction LOGIC IS ONLY TRUTH On Monday night, November 16th, Rafael Sabatini lectured in Goodhart on "Fiction in History."' We art- too ajit, Mr. Sabatini said, to take the word of the historian as sacred. An investiga- tion of how history is writtciv^v'ill show us bow to read �'it, realizing how nuich must be discounted in view of the human failings of the writer. Sometimes suf- ficient work alid research is lacking in the writing of history, sometimes judg- ment, and often breadth of vision. One of the resulting fictions in history is mystery, which is of three kinds: genuine, which is deliberately created, synthetic, which has gradually "Town up, a transparent, whicn is clear thfOUgythe logic of events. An example of trans- parent mystery is the death of Darnelly whose house was blown up but whose body was found after the explosion, at some distance .from the bowse, strangled. The attempted murder by explosion, es- cape of Darnelly. and hasty change of plans become* obvious in the logical course of events. In the creation of a genuine mystery, some fact or document always escapes suppression. For example the unexplain- able defeat oMhe Duke of Brunswick by the French at the Battle of Yalpiy in. 1792. which Napoleon afterwards pro- nounced to have been impossible, was proved by later events to have been bribery of the Duke of Brunswick, whereas historians had laid it to the fierce demeanor of the French. Quoting his- torians who were not contemporary to the action, or who were far from the scene of the action, is a dangerous practise, and there are too many people who do not dare openly to doubt anything that is written by a historian. Lord Act writing on the election of Rodrigo Borgia, ioiind evidence 'of the number of voters in eaeli faction in a- former history, and ;is- Slimiltg that the writer had used the of; ficial records as hi- source, mentioned them as his own source. Examination of the records show that the election was unanimous. This show;, \fchat additions are made to history by stating an as- sumption, not as an assumption, but as an established fact. Another source of acrc- ( 'ontinued on I'ncr Hiislit College Council Discusses A meeting of the College Council was held on Wednesday. November 11. The questions which have been brought up in the News of allowing more time for milk lunch and of allow- ing victrolas and radios in the stu- dents' rooms were discussed. No de- cisions were reached but both subjects will be considered again in the Coun- cil and the suggestions regarding milk lnnr.il will be brought before the faculty at its next meeting. Michael J. Dolan and F. J. McCormick in 'The Rising of the Moon' It was announced that Radnor has acquired an electric orthophonic vic- trola, and the graduates are planning a series of informal musical programs to be given on Saturday evenings. The undergraduates are cordially invited to attend. Arrangements will be made to put the name of *thc subject under the pictures in the reading room of the library. Hereafter the cups, in the students' washroom in the library, are to be furnished free. Miss Park's Chapel on Reasonable Ways of Giving to the Unemployment Fund Is Applied Recommended Luxury Tax Is Adopted as First Step Toward Budget Slashing, and Other Money-Making Schemes Range from Skits to Breakfasts. EMERGENCY JUSTIFIES PERSONAL SACRIFICES Miss l'ark addressed ,the student body in a special chapel last Friday morning, on the unemployment situa- tion and what she feels should be the reaction of Bryn Mawr- students to it. She spoke first of "the reasonable ways of giving" by which students in the past have met certain responsibilities for organized outside work, such as Bates House and the summer school, as well as occasional emergencies' which can be met by a single timely gift. Any spectacular giving is im- possible since "that great educator, the cast-iron allowance." does not put most of us in control of much money. The present situation does] not "fall into regular organized college giving nor individual college giving. ... It is too big and too sudden. . . ." An ex- cellent parallel may be found in the family budget, where sudden and great expenditure caused by ay accident or an illness completely upsets the neat apportioning of the income to the needs of normal life. Such an emer- gency must be met at once, and is met by a slash in every item on the budget. Mimcicnf in all to make up the discrepancy between the normal allow- ance for medical care and this greatly increased* expenditure. The slashing may be unpleasant and pleasures may have to. be-sacrificed, but the adjust- ment must be made. Statistics on the unemployment in Philadelphia alone show -that of the 8W.000 I'hiladelphians usually em- ployed in paying positions. 250.(10(1 are out of work, and have no prospect of finding it. Of these 75.000 many are heads of dependent families. In many m" these families? early savings, loans. forced sales, all possible sources of revenue have been exhausted, There simply is no money�and, therefore no coal, no food, no rent money, no medi- cal care and no clothing. There is no time to argue about cau-c- and reme- dies, or right and wrong. There arc people who will fall ill. starve or freeze, unless immediate assistance is brought. As in the case of the family, the slash- ing may entail the curtailment of what seem necessary pletfsuses, but there is no choice. The emergency must be met. 'There is probable no student in col- lege who is not feeling the strain to some degree; many of US are limiting our expenditures to the barest necessi- ties. College itself is feeling it; the percentage of partially dependent StUi dents is raised this year from the cus- tomary one-seventh to one-third. But these are only additional reasons win we should react promptly and sympa- thetically to the more pressing needs of the really dYstrfutc. A large number of Bryn Mawr students, faculty and staff members are residents of the vicinity, "but apart from that, all of us will spend this actual winter going and coming in the city where this problem is being faced." ^\n Kincr- gency Unemployment Relief Fund has been organized to raise the necessary funds and distribute them where thej will be of the greatest service. The faculty and staff have lent their sup- port, both in time and in money. Any further help must come from the Stu- dents. It is the problem of every in- f|ivi.iiial sin.lJMii__and she must settle with herself how she is to meet it. To the accusation that college stu- dents arc unable to grasp the emer- gency character of the present unem- ployment relief program, Bryn Mawr is able to reply by pointing" to the efforts made by the undergraduate body collectively and individually to alleviate the. distress of the coining winter. 'The peculiarly personal nature of the drive which was initiated last Friday seems a more than sufficient vindication of undergraduate percep- tion, sympathy and ability to accept responsibility. Because of the dithcultv of con- V , ducting a drive in a community where small luxuries and time <fre the only taxable commodities and where vari- able incomes are for personal expendi- tures only, it has been felt that a uni- form ipooU entailing a fixed pledge is not satisfactory. 'The nearest approxi- mation to this method is the 50% lux- ury tax resolved and carried on Presi- dent I'ark's motion in Friday chapel. 'The -individual halls have" been left free to decide their own quotas, ob- tainable by various and sundry means. Thus. Nk'Hon tops the list, with $400, "Denbigh. $150. and Rockefeller. $200. Merion, to supplement individual pledges, has renounced desserts for the entire year. Denbigh till after Christ- mas and excepting Sundays. Rock for four and I'em for three days a week. Individual pledges are to be entirely at the discretion oi each person and are not to be considered obligatory. Reminders, however, in the shape of pads and boxes, are placed at strategic points throughout the halls, r. g� en the mail table, by the signing out and week-end books, and with the cigarette and candy boxes. (irotip responses may be seen in the NEWS which has voted five per cent, of its total dividends in the league teas served daily in J'tni at the rate of ten cents for one. fifteen for two. and in "The Vilaphone Reproducing Com- pany." our latest theatrical, venture. spontaneously created for the purpose of advancing the fund, and which has netted $14 on its first performance. Filially, stand the solitary and laud- able efforts of Dolly 'Tyler, who serves cake and orange juice on non-dessert nights, and of Frances Carter, who provides breakfast from 8:15 to 9:15 for the nominal sum of -S cents. Tentative proposals have been offered to attract such pennies as may >et remain. Sublimate, tor exampfe, the gambling instincts of your friends and conduct a .series of raffle*. Or, with popularity ever at a premium, .indicate yours by dropping a penny in the box for every letter. If your cor- respondence happens to he spasmodic. limited, or suffering from general debility, distinguish yourself by a nickel. Also, our chronic and exclusive bridge devotees are advised to tax themselves per hours of play. Swarthmore has already collected pledges from 79% of the students to the extent of $1091.45, and with three days yet to go. the heads of the drive anticipate a 100r; response. Likewise, one fourth of the faculty has sub- scribed $620. Although it f- not now possible to estimate the extent of Brvn Mawr's Elected to All-Philadelphia Evelyn Remington and Margate! Collier have been chosen as members of the Second All-Philadelphia hochey team. Dr. Tennent Gives Paper Dr. Tennent has gone to New HaVen to give.a paper before the meeting of the National Academy of Washington. contribution to Philadelphia's$9,000,000 goal, it will be composed of each stu- dent's maximum donation. If not all the steps seeffl OH a very large scale, they represent a distinctly personal sacrifice or a diverting of time and of pleasure which make possible, in the end. a sum larger than would be de- revived from direct monetary contri- bution. It is requested that the pro- ceeds of the various schemes will be turned in either to the separate hall presidents or to lire. Collins direct.

Natasha Trethewey interviewing Elizabeth Alexander, 2009. From Southern Spaces. |
This week, Natasha Trethewey was named the United States Poet Laureate. As we celebrate and congratulate her, we wanted to take a moment to share her contributions to Southern Spaces.
Trethewey has been an important figure in the life of our journal. As well as serving on our board, she co-produces Poets in Place, a series on the site since 2005. Poets in Place presents original videos of poets reading and discussing their poems in locations they write about. Videos of her poems "Elegy for the Native Guards" and "Theories of Time and Space" were published in 2005. Since then, as Trethewey won the Pulitzer Prize and became the US Poet Laureate, she continued her commitment to Southern Spaces, interviewing poets, including Elizabeth Alexander, publishing readings of "Congregation" and "Geography," and sitting for an hour long interview in 2010. Below is a bibliography of Trethewey's contributions to Southern Spaces.

On April 14, the exhibition "Georgia Harmonies: Celebrating Georgia Roots Music" opened at the Harris Arts Center in Calhoun, Georgia. The first of a dozen stops in Georgia of "New Harmonies" (a project of the Smithsonian's Museum on Main Street program), the exhibit focuses on the connections between musical cultures and place. Events and performances at each of the small towns at which the exhibit stops feature musics with historical ties to the town and region, and present-day roots in the area.
In Laurie K. Sommers' Southern Spaces article, "Hoboken Style: Meaning and Change in Okefenokee Sacred Harp Singing," the author describes the "Hoboken style" of Sacred Harp singing in south Georgia's Okefenokee region, where "Georgia Harmonies" will stop (and feature Sacred Harp singing) in the summer and fall of 2013. Sommers details how some Okefenokee residents understood Sacred Harp singing as a regional, rather than religious denominational practice. This way of thinking about the style rendered broader participation possible and facilitated increased exchange with singers from other regions of the United States, a process which in turn precipitated changes to regional singing practices.
James Robert Chambless, Michael Thompson and Joyce Walton lead a song at a Sacred Harp singing, Holly Springs Primitive Baptist Church, Bremen, Georgia, June 2, 2012. |
Sommers' account demonstrates how associating a community-based music with place (rather than solely with family, religious denomination, race, ethnicity, or another cultural marker) creates openings for individuals who fall outside the group previously associated with the music to participate. By connecting varied forms of "roots music" otherwise identified with racial or religious groups with the towns and regions where they occur, the "New Harmonies" exhibition likewise has the potential to introduce such music to new people, and to bring practitioners of different musical styles together. This certainly happened in my case.

I traveled to Calhoun on Saturday, May 5 to participate in a Sacred Harp singing held in conjunction with the traveling exhibition. The event attracted a group of perhaps a dozen long-time white Sacred Harp singers like myself, thirty or so listeners from the Calhoun area, and three participants in a related predominantly-black shape-note singing community who had long heard of Sacred Harp singers but had a scheduling conflict with the annual Sacred Harp singing in Calhoun and had never had an opportunity to attend. Over lunch I and a couple of other Sacred Harp singers shared histories and information with these visiting singers, who were members of an association of black shape-note singers called the United Note Singers. The next day, four other white Sacred Harp singers and I traveled to Marietta to participate in a shape-note singing under the group's umbrella at Zion Baptist Church. Members of both groups were grateful for the opportunity—precipitated by the Smithsonian exhibition's association of our respective musical styles with place—to meet, share histories, and compare and contrast our musical practices.
"Georgia Harmonies: Celebrating Georgia Roots Music" was held in Calhoun from April 14–May 24 and will stop in eleven other locations across Georgia through November 26, 2013.

- On Thursday, the New Orleans Times-Picayune announced that it "will significantly increase its online news-gathering efforts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while offering enhanced printed newspapers on a schedule of three days a week." Residents of greater New Orleans will only be able to read the 175-year old paper via the print edition on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays or in its online form at www.NOLA.com. Three Alabama newspapers (The Birmingham News, Mobile's Press-Register, and The Huntsville Times) also announced that they would be publishing three days per week and focusing on online news; all four papers are owned by the media company Advance Publications.
- The Alabama Legislature passed Senator Gerald Dial's (R-Lineville) plan for redistricting the state's thirty-five Senate districts in the wee hours of Thursday morning. State Democrats—none of whom voted for the bill—have suggested that the Department of Justice will not approve the plan because it reduces the influence of African American voters across the state. The Alabama Legislative Reapportionment Office details the changes, which reduce the number of majority-white districts in which African Americans make up at least 25% from eleven to six, in this helpful interactive map.
- The US Department of Labor is investigating Florida's implementation of strict new rules for unemployment insurance eligibility after the National Unemployment Law Project and Florida Legal Services jointly filed a detailed complaint which argues that the new rules violate Section 303(a)(1) of the Social Security Act, which requires states to "establish methods of administration reasonably calculated to insure payment of benefits when due." The rules in question are a part of a series of changes to the state's Unemployment Insurance law enacted in December of 2011 (HB7005).

»AJ Cann, Peer Review, 2008. |
We get a lot of inquiries from potential authors about the submission and review process here at Southern Spaces. In addition to special series, we accept submissions on a rolling basis. We look for pieces that engage with our mission of critically interrogating the real and imagined spaces of the US South and their global connections.
Southern Spaces has an online submission process that helps us keep submissions and media organized and streamlines review. Once an author has submitted, our editorial staff begins the process of internal review. The staff looks at several criteria:
- Quality: Does the piece do critical/analytical work, or is it only illustrative/descriptive? Does the content meet our standards in terms of research and quality of writing? Would the piece require a substantial amount of editing/reworking?
- Fit for the journal: Does the piece use a spatial approach to its subject? Does it focus on the role of space, place, or region within its main arguments? Does it deal with the US South in some way? How might this piece work in terms of formatting/layout? Does it come with practical, usable media or media ideas?
- Originality: Has the piece been published elsewhere? Do the arguments seem fresh, or have you heard them before? Does the piece traffic in new and progressive ideas about US Souths or southern distinctiveness and nostalgia?
- Permissions: Would using the content or suggested media require extensive, expensive, or impossible permissions?
If the piece meets our criteria, the staff either returns the work back to the author for edits or sends the piece to peer review. Southern Spaces has a double-blind peer review process—neither the author nor the reviewer knows the other's identity. We have over one hundred editorial reviewers, and we're constantly adding new specialists. The majority of authors are asked to revise and resubmit work in the internal review stage; it's fairly rare that a piece is sent straight to peer review. Revise and resubmit isn't a rejection; it's how Southern Spaces makes sure that we're sending the highest quality work to peer reviewers.
Once authors have received their peer review feedback, we begin the final round of revision and copyedits. Southern Spaces generally has a fairly short turnaround time—depending on the amount of revision necessary, we can generally publish articles in three to six months from the initial submission.
Submission Process
»This photograph from the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, FSA/OWI Black and White Negatives collection, taken in September 1938 by Marion Post Wolcott, carried the following caption: "Boarded-up homes in abandoned mining town. Twin Branch, West Virginia. Once very nice, owned by Ford. About four years ago when an attempt to organize it was made, Ford closed it down completely rather than have it unionized. Around 1000 men used to work there. They won't sell it, rent or let 'squatters' live in the deserted homes that are rotting away." LC-USF34-050274-E. |
Today's post is the first in an ongoing series compiling links related to news from in and around the US South. We hope these posts will provide space for lively discussion and debate regarding issues of importance to those living in and intellectually engaging with the US South. Without further ado, The Bulletin.
The recently passed amendment to North Carolina's state constitution which defines marriage as "between one man and one woman" has brought the issue of equal rights for same-sex couples into the center of the national political arena over the last couple of weeks.
Adam Bink of The Huffington Post offers "A Look at What Happened on Amendment 1 in North Carolina," from the perspective of someone involved in the campaign against the amendment.
Ballotopedia offers a helpful overview of the amendment and the groups campaigning on both sides of the issue.

Cindy Chang offers an overview of how legislators and lobbyists have encouraged the growth of the state's prison population through financial incentives over the last two decades, causing Louisiana to become the world leader in incarceration.
Statistics from The Sentencing Project demonstrate the racial disparities documented by Chang.
A case being heard in Charlotte, North Carolina's Immigration Court today will demonstrate the limits of recent policy changes regarding prosecutorial discretion for deportation cases involving illegal immigrants which pose no threat to national security or public safety.
The Charlotte Observer and the Latin American Herald-Tribune offer overviews of the case and how local groups and United States Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-Illinois) have rallied around Gabino Sanchez, a 27-year-old construction and landscape worker from rural Ridgeland, South Carolina.

Thank you for your interest in Quilt Mavericks. At this time we are not taking new ring members. It is the feeling of many that the ring got too big and we lost our sense of community once the ring was bigger than our ability to travel through the ring in a timely manner and comment on each other's blogs.
Community is the reason why we started this ring. Community is why we desire to keep the size limited. We hope you understand, and will keep up with our blogs by travelling around the ring often!

Consistency with Gödel's theorem
It has also been suggested that the MUH is inconsistent with Gödel's incompleteness theorem. In a three-way debate between Tegmark and fellow physicists Piet Hut and Mark Alford,[8] the "secularist" (Alford) states that "the methods allowed by formalists cannot prove all the theorems in a sufficiently powerful system... The idea that math is "out there" is incompatible with the idea that it consists of formal systems." Tegmark's response in [8] (sec VI.A.1) is to offer a new hypothesis "that only Godel-complete (fully decidable) mathematical structures have physical existence. This drastically shrinks the Level IV multiverse, essentially placing an upper limit on complexity, and may have the attractive side effect of explaining the relative simplicity of our universe." Tegmark goes on to note that although conventional theories in physics are Godel-undecidable, the actual mathematical structure describing our world could still be Godel-complete, and "could in principle contain observers capable of thinking about Godel-incomplete mathematics, just as finite-state digital computers can prove certain theorems about Godel-incomplete formal systems like Peano arithmetic." In [2] (sec. VII) he gives a more detailed response, proposing as an alternative to MUH the more restricted "Computable Universe Hypothesis" (CUH) which only includes mathematical structures that are simple enough that Gödel's theorem does not require them to contain any undecidable/uncomputable theorems. Tegmark admits that this approach faces "serious challeges", including (a) it excludes much of the mathematical landscape; (b) the measure on the space of allowed theories may itself be uncomputable; and (c) "virtually all historically successful theories of physics violate the CUH".

I recently called Sens. Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions and Rep. Mike Rogers to ask why they were not providing leadership on the gun-violence issue. Their spokespeople said they felt bad for the victims but supported the Second Amendment right of private citizens to bear arms. I replied that I, too, supported this right, which I interpret to mean the right to own handguns for self-protection and hunting rifles for sport. I asked why private citizens should be allowed to own semi-automatic assault rifles and high-capacity magazines, and why purchases of firearms at gun shows are not subject to background checks.
I noted that I actually support National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre's idea of having armed, trained law-enforcement personnel in schools because I think that would be a deterrent to mass killings, just as, in my opinion, the outlawing of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines would be a deterrent. Nothing can be guaranteed to stop mass killings, but there are definite things that reasonable people in a free society can do to deter them.
The spokespersons for Shelby, Sessions and Rogers listened and assured me that they would pass my concerns on to these officials. I know these gentlemen to be honest, hardworking public servants who are willing to consider thoughtful solutions to important public issues.
If we're going to continue to call ourselves the greatest country on earth, we're going to have to discuss our concerns and differences with open minds, mutual respect and a determination to improve public safety by enacting just and reasonable laws.

A pitch for Cooperstown
By Bill Francis
During a May 29 visit to Syracuse to catch a Syracuse Chiefs home game at Alliance Bank Stadium, I ran into former big league pitcher Steve Grilli. Though fireballing phenom Stephen Strasburg was pitching that night, Grilli seemed more excited about the news he had recently received.
"I just got my invitation to play in this year's Hall of Fame Classic," a smiling Grilli said. "If I didn't, I was going to beg to go back because I had such a wonderful time with my family there last year. It's a great weekend. I just think Cooperstown is a Norman Rockwell city. You can't help but have a good time over there."
Grilli, who calls Syracuse home now, pitched for the Chiefs for four seasons (1978-81) and broadcasts their games on TV and radio. A frequent visitor to Cooperstown over the years, he pitched a scoreless fifth inning to help Team Wagner to a 5-4 win over Team Collins in last year's Hall of Fame Classic at historic Doubleday Field.
"I can always say I relieved Bob Feller, which I did last year," said Grilli, referring to the Hall of Fame hurler. "I was on the same team with Bob and I was one of the relievers that relieved him, so I can always say I pitched with Bob Feller."
Grilli admits to enjoying the change in format from the previous Hall of Fame Game, in which two big league teams played.
"I think this new way of doing it is exciting because you're getting to see the Hall of Famers, and the guys that I played with that are in the Hall of Fame had a ball, as well as some of us serviceable players like myself," said Grilli, the father of major league pitcher Jason Grilli. "I got to ride in the parade with my grandson and rub shoulders with some of the better players who have ever come through the game."
Grilli finished his four-year big league career (1975-77, 1979), spent mostly with the Detroit Tigers, with a record of 4-3. His claim to fame is as the losing pitcher in the longest game in professional baseball history, a 33-inning International League contest in 1981 that saw Pawtucket come away with a 3-2 win over Rochester.
When asked about Strasburg, the Syracuse pitcher we were both waiting to see this night, Grilli had only high praise.
"What I'm most impressed with is his breaking stuff. There are guys in the big leagues that throw 96, 97, 98, this kid was two other really well developed pitches to go along with that 98 mile per hour fastball," Grilli said. "He pitches at 96, 97, he'll touch 98, 99, 100 when he has to, but his breaking ball is devastating. I was comparing it to Kerry Wood breaking ball when he struck out the 20 or the Nolan Ryan type of curveball. It's hard and it's sharp."
Grilli referred to a former teammate when asked what it had been like to witness in person all of Strasburg's Syracuse starts.
"It's something I can only compare to one thing and that was Mark 'The Bird' Fidrych. I was part of that club when Mark broke in with Detroit when he went 19-9 in his rookie season (1976)," Grilli said. "This kid's got that same kind of electricity. And the attention he's drawn in this town is something I've never seen."
With Cooperstown only 60 miles from Syracuse, could Grilli see Strasburg with his own plaque in the National Baseball Hall of Fame one day?
"He has the stuff to be a Hall of Famer some day if he continues to throw as he has."
Bill Francis is a library associate for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Throughout the past couple of months, The Black Vault has seen quite a few changes here on the board, and on the main site.
I think it's time we all take a moment, and read through the few rules and regulations here on The Black Vault:
I am a strong advocate for the Freedom of Speech, but not at the expense of others safety or experience here at The Black Vault. That is why the simple rules are outlined above.
Many have tried to find the thin line that separates the rules and being in the 'safe zone' without getting a warning. I please ask, you all use this site for free, so the ONLY thing I ask, is you obey the FEW rules set forth and find some mutual respect for others. We are all entitled to our opinions here, and will differ on many issues. But name calling, badgering, etc., is not welcome or tolerated.
Feel free to speak your mind - but do so in a manner that is respectful, legal and within the rules and regulations set by The Black Vault.
I appreciate your time and understanding.
