Why?

"Although he is a very poor fielder, he is a very poor hitter."

Ring Lardner, Sr.
(03/03/1885 – 09/25/1933)
US writer

They don't make sports writers like this any more.

That's classic Lardner.

I remember a Broadway review that was practically opaque in its vague & ambiguous wording. Another critic wrote, "That guy had absolutely no idea what the play was about, but damned if he was going to admit it."

Nobody writes that well any more, except Tam.
