Hank says of the program:

“Our neighbors went to work, then came home to their families. Ballplayers went to work, were cheered or booed, then went home to their families, often in workingclass areas. In the off-season they had jobs as laborers , salesmen, clerks, and on and on. Players weren’t special other than getting to play games as adults . There are many stories of famous men that show that our parents and grandparents were all of one fabric”
