Which of you wouldn&#8217;t consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure, I&#8217;m lucky. Who wouldn&#8217;t consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball&#8217;s greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy?
