Guest Tony n Terrific Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Another baseball season is here. New York Yankees vs Boston Redsox at 8:05 tonight. The NL will start the traditional opening day tomorrow.I found this classic about baseball from a skit from Abbott and Costello they made 65 years ago. They did this without teleprompters or computers. The modern day in 2010 for Abbott and Costello. COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTTABBOTT: Super Duper computer store.
