A Giants' victory would seem to justify for a few hours his misshapen life. In between football games drinking bouts shock treatments and insulin therapy Exley would venture out into the world to play at being a normal successful young man on-the-go only to find each attempt driving him toward insanity again bringing him to the conclusion he is not a hero but merely a fan.

"The date at which men first began to jump fences on horseback cannot even be surmised. I find in no book or record whatever any expression of surprise that any horseman of old time had jumped a hedge a brook a stile or anything else. Jumping like other things must have been a matter of gradual advance. The earliest war-horses may have been called upon to 'negotiate' some ditch or gully; they may have cleared the body of some fallen steed or a portrion of a broken chariot; and this may have been the first step towards high and broad leaping" - from the text.
