HANK LEARNED A WORD FOR IT
"Hank Borowy, voted the most valuable player in the Greater Newark Tournament while at Bloomfield High in 1935, earned as a reward a trip around the International League circuit as a guest of the Newark Bears.
'What did you learn on the trip?' Borowy, who was destined to become a star hurler for the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs, was asked.
'I learned how to swear,' was his innocent reply."
-Paul Horowitz in the Newark News (Baseball Digest, September 1952)
