Dearest Archie:

Quentin is really doing pretty well with his baseball, and he is perfectly absorbed in it. He now occasionally makes a base hit if the opposing pitcher is very bad; and his nine wins more than one-half of its games.  

The grounds are too lovely for anything, and spring is here, or rather early summer, in full force. Mother's flower-gardens are now as beautiful as possible, and the iron railings of the fences south of them are covered with clematis and roses in bloom. The trees are in full foliage and the grass brilliant green, and my friends, the warblers, are trooping to the north in full force.

- From Theodore Roosevelt, The White House, May 17, 1908

Just a short time before this photograph, the Aberdeen area and the stadium received some light rain. By game time, the beautiful stadium saw an even more beautiful evening, and a pretty amazing sky.
