[Atlantics vs. Unions of Morrisania 7/30/1867] [Galvin] made two heavy strikes, but missed the ball each time, turned around to his associates and smiled, then he hit a heavy foul back of third, and while it was being returned, regaled himself, and amused the crowd by balancing his bat on his chin. The he hit the ball as hard as he could; sent it flying to left-field, and Smith getting before it and holding it handsomely, finished that figure of the dance.
