...long, hot afternoon. Such a pitcher was Iowa Farm Boy Bob Feller, who came off a sand lot at 17 and struck out 348 batters for the Cleveland Indians in 1946. Such a pitcher also is moonfaced Michael Jones, a $3,000-bonus rookie who plays for Johnson City, Tenn., a St. Louis Cardinals class D farm club.

Last week, while in Nashville, Tenn., to report on that city's considerable advances in race relations, Trillin got word of new trouble in Birmingham, Ala., and hurried off to cover the story. First stop: the Birmingham city jail, to ask about the captive white and Negro "Freedom Riders." As soon as Trillin left the jail, a patrol car began to tail him. Five blocks farther on, police hailed down Trillin's rented car, said he had run a stop sign. They asked questions. What was his profession? Whom did he work for? What was he doing...
