Who?

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.

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.

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.
