Quote by Casey (Charles Dillon) Stengel

Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.

Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.

Summary

This quote suggests that in the sport of baseball (or any other sport), strong pitching can effectively neutralize a team's ability to hit well, while solid hitting can have the same impact on a strong pitching staff. It highlights the dynamic balance between offense and defense in sports, acknowledging that the success of one can depend on the quality and skill of the other. Consequently, a pitcher's ability to consistently prevent hits can overcome the offensive prowess of a strong hitting team, and, reciprocally, a potent lineup can outperform even the most skilled pitchers.

Women are in bondage; their clothes are a great hindrance to their engaging in any business which will make them pecuniarily independent, and since the soul of womanhood never can be queenly and noble so long as it must beg bread for its body, is it not better, even at the expense of a vast deal of annoyance, that they whose lives deserve respect and are greater than their garments should give an example by which woman may more easily work out her own emancipation?
