...cocky 11-year-olds put another group of cocky 11-year-olds in its place. This is especially satisfying at games like ours at Wellesley last year. The immaculately groomed Wellesley players, in their perfectly pressed white (of course) uniforms, came out talking a big game against our rag-tag, culturally and ethnically diverse Cambridge team, peppering their trash talk with racial epithets and words like "slum kids."

He did not invent it: black musicians along the Mississippi had long been syncopating, or "ragging," the rhythm of such forms as the march and the two-step, and Joplin was not even the first to publish a rag. But in his hands the nascent genre was quickly transformed into something worthy of the concert hall.
