A New Kind of Crazing
Dr. S.B Talcott, superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum in New York, in May 1892:
“I believe that baseball is a homeopathic cure for lunacy. It is a kind of craze in itself, and gives the lunatics a new kind of crazing to relieve them of the malady which afflicts their minds.”
Any one who has ever replied to Jon Heyman on Twitter knows this malady well.
