The Man Didn't Have to Sound Off-On the way over to the office to pose for the picture which appears immediately below ("let's take this one with the hat on," said Hub Kittle; "O.K." said photographer Jim Shelton, "but tip it back a little so it doesn't shade your eyes") -- anyway, on the way to the office Hub Kittle had searched for an explanation.
"I didn't have to sound off the way I did over there," said the manager of the Yakima Bears, referring to to the hour or more of lecture, discussion and debate on baseball at the Spokane Press club. "I know I didn't have to. But look, I'm 42 years old. All I've ever known is baseball. So it's almost like religion with me, and that makes me almost a preacher."
