- But when this Robinson ups to the plate, some ghostly umpire calls.
- Did you hear that! Did you hear him!
- But you didn't say nothin'. You was quiet, like the bleachers was.
- Here was and umpire callin' two strikes on a man before he gets to bat.

- Then my second sense started operatin'.
- I put my whammy into action.
- Be still, Babe, I put it on Jackie Robinson.
