During the years he protected right field for the Cubs, Kiki Cuyler was famous for his throwing arm. Against the Giants one afternoon, he cut down Travis Jackson trying to score from second on a single.
As Pancho Snyder, Giants third-base coach, passed the Cubs' bench, the boys gave him the business. "How'd you like that throw, you big blubberhead?"
"He couldn't do it again in a hundred years," Pancho growled back.
A few innings later, Cuyler again cut down Jackson trying to score from second on a hit.
Thereupon one of the Cub bench jockeys thrust his head out of the dugout and yelled at Snyder, "Hey, meathead, time sure does fly, doesn't it?"
