Which line from brighton beach memoirs best the audience understand eugene's perspective that he is treated unfairly? one pitch, mom? i think i can get him to pop up. i have my stuff today. i got hit with a baseball right in the back of the skull, i saw two of everything for a week and i still had to carry a block of ice home every afternoon. how am i ever going to play for the yankees with a name like eugene morris jerome? you have to be a joe… or a tony… or frankie… if only i was born italian. my mother makes spaghetti with ketchup, what chance do i have?
