Bishop White was fond of anecdotes, and entertained the young candidate a while with pleasant stories of his great-uncle, General Peter Muhlenberg, who had been ordained in England by the bishop of London at the same time with himself.

Some of the imitation basehits which Deacon White and Dan Brouthers corralled in their high-school fashion would have made bold batters tremble to witness.
Those who sat in the front row this afternoon claimed that the Chicagos were applauded when they came on the field, but by far the majority of the spectators denied this report from the "go," insisting that the feeble echoes of the applause, if there were any, failed to reach their ears.
Deacon White, who never seems to tire of bobbing up serenely at the wrong time, rapped a grounder that Van Haltren was only too glad to dodge and Brouthers scored White was left at first on Ganzel's fly to Duffy.

In any case, as you probably know, this Saturday is the 151st anniversary of the birth of Deacon White, the legendary tinkerer who invented the double layered chest protector for catchers in the early 1880s.
I sometimes reflect on how my own life would be different had Deacon not lived, and while such reflections are admittedly an abstraction, it is clear to me that his legacy is a constant source of personal reassurance.

The priest waved to the deacon standing next to him saying, "Please, make room, as the sanctuary is overcrowded, my son and I haven’t completed the Commemoration, yet!" The deacon was surprised as he looked around and found nobody but him!
The deacon got amazed and knelt down, saying, "Indeed, O Lord, the sanctuary is crowded with victorious saints, who surround You while You are on the Altar … Their souls are gathered around Your Throne… Who am I to stand here in this holy place!!!"
Ever since this event, and until the deacon was ordained as a priest, as soon as the "Commemoration of Saints" prayer in the Liturgy starts, he knelt down on his knees, remembering what the priest had seen and the priest’s prayer that the Lord opened his eyes to see the same.
