"When the newspapers announced that I was finally strong enough to play, you better believe that town was excited. At home plate before my first at bat, I was presented with a silver-plated loving cup. I had to smile. A loving cup for me! The fans rose to their feet to cheer the Prince. To welcome him back. All is forgiven! Even my teammates and the clucks on the other side stood to applaud. To oblige them I raised the cup over my head and presented it from one foul pole to the other. Look at the goddamn cattle, I thought. Look at them all."
