 |  |  |  | #10912 |  | Most people's favorite way to end a game is by winning. 
 |  |  |  | #10913 |  | My first baseman is George "Catfish" Metkovich from our 1952 Pittsburgh Pirates team, which lost 112 games.  After a terrible series against the
 New York Giants, in which our center fielder made three throwing errors
 and let two balls get through his legs, manager Billy Meyer pleaded, "Can
 somebody think of something to help us win a game?"
 "I'd like to make a suggestion," Metkovich said.  "On any ball hit
 to center field, let's just let it roll to see if it might go foul."

 |  |  |  | #10920 |  | "Oh, he [a big dog] hunts with papa," she said. "He says Don Carlos [the dog] is good for almost every kind of game.  He went duck hunting one time
 and did real well at it.  Then Papa bought some ducks, not wild ducks but,
 you know, farm ducks.  And it got Don Carlos all mixed up.  Since the
 ducks were always around the yard with nobody shooting at them he knew he
 wasn't supposed to kill them, but he had to do something.  So one morning
 last spring, when the ground was still soft, he took all the ducks and
 buried them."  "What do you mean, buried them?"  "Oh, he didn't hurt them.
 He dug little holes all over the yard and picked up the ducks in his mouth
 and put them in the holes.  Then he covered them up with mud except for
 their heads.  He did thirteen ducks that way and was digging a hole for
 another one when Tony found him.  We talked about it for a long time.  Papa
 said Don Carlos was afraid the ducks might run away, and since he didn't
 know how to build a cage he put them in holes.  He's a smart dog."
 -- R. Bradford, "Red Sky At Morning"
