Dear Sir,
The time has come. I'll leave the show after this year.
I guess I will have to make room for the young players.

Sam Leslie has made noteable progress
learning his new position, Rightfield.
I would rate his skills as "9" right now.

Subject: Status of Eddie Morgan
Dear Sir,
Eddie Morgan has an AVG of .242 at AA Hagerstown Hilltoppers!
That's definitely no good sign. I suggest demoting him soon.

Scouting Director



Date: Saturday, 5/6/1936
Subject: Progress of Grant Bowler
Dear Sir,
Grant Bowler has nothing more to prove at AA Hagerstown Hilltoppers!
He has an ERA of 1.59 over there, so I think
a promotion wouldn't hurt.

Subject: I am a starter...
... so would you please put me in the rotation?
I want to go out there and start for my
team. Please come on, manager!

Dear Sir,
Babe Dahlgren isn't hitting the ball at all at AA Hagerstown Hilltoppers!
He has an AVG of .249, so a demotion is
the right choice. He shouldn't be emberassed any more.
