…as these are not ordinary times, I venture to ask what you have in mind as to whether professional baseball should continue to operate…

Letter from Kenesaw Landis to President Franklin D. Roosevelt  Regarding Baseball, 1/15/1942

File Unit: PPF 227: Baseball, 1933 - 1945. Series: President’s Personal Files, 1933 - 1945. Collection: Papers as President, President’s Personal File, 1933 - 1945

Five weeks after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the United States entered World War II, Commissioner of Baseball Kenesaw Mountain Landis wrote President Franklin D. Roosevelt asking whether major league baseball should be played. President Roosevelt responded affirmatively with personal hope in what is now known as the “green light” letter.

“I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going.  There will be fewer people unemployed and everybody will work longer hours and harder than ever before.”

If Darth Vader hadn’t killed all the Jedi, there’s NO WAY Luke would have become a Jedi Master. Not for lack of talent, and definitely not because of the Dark Side, but dude, Luke Skywalker trying to comply with the “no emotional connections” policy?

The Council would be like “Luke, stop making friends, it is the Path to Corruption”
and Luke would be like “What? It’s only Han”
“What about these other 356,739,000 people you made friends with?”
“They’re really nice! If you got to know them-”
“And you and your sister need to stop saving each other. Only we can authorize rescues. Connection Is Bad.”
and so Luke Skywalker fled the Order in the dead of night, never to be seen again, except by his 356,739,000 friends, many of whom are in the Jedi Order anyway
