...beats night games, regardless of how many people show up.

At this point, Wolfe's inborn personal reticence became an obstacle to his recovery. He once told an interviewer that he would not take his troubles to his best friend...
...exactly being courted by William Morris agents. When Bruce Springsteen visited the Yankee clubhouse toward the end of the regular season, he gave Williams a signed guitar.
