Tenors are naturally the heroes of most operas just as pitchers are the heroes of ball games. Baritones, like catchers, have to knock homeruns to be noticed and their chances at conspicuous parts come less often than a catcher's turn at bat.

...heartstrings with four runs in the first inning off young pitcher Johnny Allen. After that the rumble and crash of Yankee bats made 17 hits, discouraged four Chicago pitchers. In the first, the side-whiskered Bush was knocked out of the box; in the third. Lazzeri smashed a homerun over the right field bleacher screen scoring two runs; in the sixth. Gehrig singled for two runs; in the seventh five hits made four more runs; and in the ninth, when the Yankees were four runs ahead, they made four more, two on Lazzeri's second homerun.
