Wartime ball still had to be played, and Roush played it at .333 — 145 hits, 24 steals, center field held like a deed. The season was shorter; the stroke was not. Cartoon ink finds the stolen bags and the fly balls that died in his glove.
WARTIME CLIP
A .333 clipboard in a shortened book — the stroke did not shrink.
CENTER DEED
Center field held like a deed — lazy flies treated as unpaid rent.
STOLEN BAGS
Twenty-four stolen bags jingling — wartime dust on the bases.
