[il Padrino Ute]

he heard it from my wife's late Grandpa who was a great guy and a terrific baseball player in his day:

A baseball scout found a remarkable prospect--a horse who was a pretty good fielder and who hit the ball every time he was up at bat. The scout got him a try-out with a big league team. Up at bat, the horse slammed the ball into far left field and stood at the plate, watching it go. "Run!" the manager screamed, "Run!" "Are you kidding?" answered the horse. "If I could run, I'd be in the Kentucky Derby."
