I just received a check for twenty cents. Evidently I was part of a class action lawsuit that I knew nothing of. I didn't even realize a great wrong had been done to me. Nonetheless, I have to say, I now feel completely vindicated.

Of course, nothing can completely put to rights the grave injustice I suffered, but this twenty cents makes a good start.

I like class action lawsuits. They are the closest thing we have to equitable economic distribution in the U.S. The poor man's socialist revolution.

Compared with the present day, games in the early part of the 20th century were lower
scoring and pitchers were more successful. The "inside game", whose nature was to
"scratch for runs", was played rather more violently and aggressively than it is today.
Ty Cobb said of his era especially, "Baseball is something like a war!" This period,
which has since become known as the "dead-ball era", ended in the 1920s with several
rule changes that gave advantages to hitters and the rise of the legendary baseball
player Babe Ruth, who showed the world what power hitting could produce and thus changed
the nature of the game. Two of the changes introduced were a move to bring the outfield
fences closer to the infield in the largest parks, and an introduction of extremely
strict rules governing the size, shape and construction of the ball, causing it to travel
farther when hit; the aggregate result of these two changes was to enable batters to hit
many more home runs.

Baseball is most popular in East Asia and the Americas, although in South America its
popularity is mainly limited to the northern portion of the continent. In The Dominican
Republic, Puerto Rico, Japan, Cuba, Panama, Venezuela, Nicaragua, South Korea, and
Taiwan, it is one of the most popular sports. The United States is the birthplace of
baseball, where it has long been regarded as more than just a "major sport"; for many
decades, it has been popularly referred to as the "national pastime" and Major League
Baseball has been given a unique monopoly status by the Supreme Court of the United
States.[1] Although the three most popular professional team sports in the United States
are ball games—baseball, basketball and American football—baseball's historical
popularity was so great that even today the word "ballgame" in the United States almost
always refers to a game of baseball (except in the American South, where the word is
also used in association with football), and "ballpark" invariably refers to a baseball
field.
