. . . Abe Lincoln's life, but it's not the way I heard it. Lincoln was gunned down in Ford Theater, but this fatal site has nothing to do with the dude who later got an automobile brand named after himself despite giving tips to and supporting the Fuhrer due to his own extreme anti-Semitism, and despite the fact that he hired armed thugs to patrol the catwalks of his vehicle assembly plants to rub out any laborers talking to each other, suggesting the possibility of labor union organizing. Lincoln's own controversial plan to ship back those individuals formerly in servitude to the home continent of their ancestors was one of the apples in the latter-day Ford's eye, causing him to name the Continental sub-brand after Honest Abe. But before Hammering Hank's heyday, the mortally wounded Abraham noticed Gen. Abner Doubleday, inventor of our National Pastime sweeping both the North and South during the monumental internal battling like Wordle is Today, in attendance at his bedside, and he whispered his dying plea: "General, Please don't let Baseball die."
