“Listen, I’m against sin. I’ll kick it as long as I’ve got a foot, I’ll fight it as long as I’ve got a fist, I’ll butt it as long as I’ve got a head, and I’ll bite it as long as I’ve got a tooth. And when I’m old, fistless, footless, and toothless, I’ll gum it till I go home to glory and it goes home to perdition.”
~ Billy Sunday
In honor of Billy Sunday, a former professional baseball player turned evangelist, who made his first appearance as an evangelist in Chicago on this day in 1889.
