Stewart came in and promptly gave up the big shot of the day, a three-run homer to Rich Gasinski, before settling down to keep things in single digits for the next three innings. It was the sophomore's second long relief appearance in three days, and his outings may very well be good enough to earn him a start against Eastern League opponents Navy or Princeton this weekend...

Fortunately, Flexner never permits his psychological theories, which seem sound enough if not pursued to preposterous lengths, to overwhelm this rich and very solid biography, ending with Hamilton's 26th year, two decades before his death...
