<br>I think that you're reading much too much into this.  I'd bet that most of the
<br>professional ballplayers of the time were probably academically advanced if
<br>they had graduated from hight school, but many could rhyme college with
<br>knowledge.   College of Knowledge -- a rhyme with legs.
<br>
<br>I would guess that the person who wrote this fine verse wrote for the newspaper
<br>on a regular basis but was not a player.
