Quote by Casey (Charles Dillon) Stengel
It's high time something was done for the pitchers. They put up the stands and take down fences to make more home runs and plague the pitchers. Let them revive the spitter and help the pitchers make a living.
Summary
This quote highlights the perceived imbalance between pitchers and hitters in baseball. The speaker believes that the changing of regulations in baseball, such as adding more home run opportunities by modifying stadiums, has made it harder for pitchers to succeed. They argue that allowing pitchers to bring back the technique of throwing a "spitter" (a pitch with a controlled amount of illegal substance on it for added movement) would provide pitchers with an advantage and help them earn a living. The quote suggests a desire for fairer conditions for pitchers in the sport.
