More just for fun. This was originally a Vaudeville skit which didn't deal with baseball, but rather a dye shop or something like that. Abbott and Costello changed it...added to it...honed it and made it theirs. It's one of their most famous routines. If you like a laugh, this ought to do it. A beautiful piece of work.

That did make me chuckle
I have seen that for over 30 years and still have to laugh out loud at several points. I remember sitting alone one evening while on collage break and seeing it for the first time and laughed with tears. As good as it gets.
lol
Wow haha its been a while, but that surely is incredibly funny even today :)
All---Lou laughed first. So Lou is on first?
Beautiful.
I hate to admit I was still in single digits age wise when I first saw this done on TV
I think this might be the first time i have seen the whole thing.. Thanks

wm---I won't admit it.
uamada---you guys play baseball down there? Seriously, I don't know.
It's the first time I have seen the whole thing, too. I have only seen short clips from it on TV before. I really was LOLing :-)
Doug---Gotta love YouTube. Otherwise these are the kinds of things we'd never see. Glad you liked it.
I was not aware of its roots. Thanks!
Comrade---you bet.
