How I Licked a Gorilla

TO those who would pass up this story because of the improbability of its title, I can only say in terms of the baseball world that I'm calling it the way I saw it. Were it necessary I would swear to the gods above me or whatever gods the reader may have above, below or around him to its authenticity. It's the story of a faith that I found one autumn evening in a manner so tragically simple. That: I could have survived without it for over thirty years is beyond my farthest stretch of imagination.
