Quote #10
He tried to think of ways of investing twenty-five thousand—maybe in a restaurant or tavern—to build it up to fifty, and then somehow to double that. (9.33)
Well, even if he can't be the best player ever to wield a baseball bat, Roy seems to be addicted to ambitious thinking. He doesn't think about having enough money to be happy but rather on doubling and quadrupling twenty-five thousand, which is a lot of money now and was worth even more back in the 1950s. Knowing Roy up until this point, the reader knows that he's completely incapable of making this kind of financial magic.
