I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are managed and our business is managed in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com. I founded Ornot in 2013.

Going to the ball game, huh, Mr. Templer? It's a great day for it. Didn't know you always found the baseball. You found the baseball, Mr. Templer? Yes, indeed, Louie. You know, I should have gone in for baseball instead of becoming a cab jockey. Grown men getting paid thousands of dollars for tossing a little ball around two hours a day. Can you beat it, can you, Mr. Templer? I'm asking you, can you beat it? Louie, I... Baseball, you can't beat it. I'd like to live in a town where they got major league ball. The Blue Sox here is all right, but it's minor league. You think we'll ever get a big league ball in this town, Mr. Templer? I say, you think we'll ever get big league ball, Mr. Templer? You're kind of quiet today, Mr. Templer.
My silence, friend Louie, is purely comparative. Oh... Well, since you're not feeling well, it's good you're taking the afternoon off. Been reading about that father and son of the Broussards, Lefty and Phil Miller? They're rather interesting. Supposedly the first time in baseball father and son have played on the same team. Yeah, yeah. The old man just down from the majors and the kid on his way up. Old Lefty was great in his day, though, and the kid will be great, too. They both playing today, Louie? Neither one. Phil ain't doing a pitch till tomorrow and the old man's got a game leg. Won't even be a uniform. That's what goes first in baseball, Mr. Templer. The legs. In my line of work... I know. I know.
Mr. Templer, you know something funny? There's rumors out about the Blue Sox. What kind of rumors, Louie? The rumors say the Sox are going to do business. Lose a ball game that maybe they should win. Oh, nonsense, Louie. Baseball is honest. You know that. Maybe so, but it's still got to be played by humans. You'd better step on it, my cynical friend. We're late. Sure, Mr. Templer. Most likely nothing to the rumors anyway. You know how it is driving a cab. You pick up all sorts of things. Me, it don't do no good to pick nothing up. I'm married. Hey. Yeah. Did you hear that, Mr. Templer? I said, me, it don't do no good to pick nothing up. I heard, Louie. I heard. Pretty funny, huh? Louie, take me out to the ball game.
Louie.
Hello, Lefty.
Thanks for coming, Saint. Sit down, sit down. Thanks. I hope I'm not late. No, the game won't start for another ten minutes. How's the leg, Lefty? It's improving, Saint. How's crime?
