St. Peter and Satan were having an argument one day about baseball. Satan proposed a game to be played on neutral grounds between a select team from the heavenly host and his own hand-picked boys.


"Very well," said the gatekeeper of Heaven. "But you realize, I hope, that we've got all the good players and the best coaches."


"I know, and that's all right," Satan answered unperturbed. "We've got all the umpires."
