The Great Baseball Songs

Abbott	Well, Costello, I'm going to New York with you. The Yankee's manager gave me a job as coach for as long as you're on the team.
Costello	Look, Abbott, if you're the coach, you must know all the players.
Abbott	I certainly do.
Costello	Well, you know I've never met the guys. So you'll have to tell me their names,and then I'll know who's playing on the team.
Abbott	Oh, I'll tell you their names, but, you know, it seems to me they give these ball players now-a days very peculiar names.
Costello	You mean funny names?
Abbott	Strange names, pet names...like Dizzy Dean...
Costello	His brother Daffy
Abbott	Daffy Dean...
Costello	And their French cousin.
Abbott	French?
Costello	Goofe'
Abbott	Goofe' Dean. Well, lets see. We have on the bags, Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third...
Costello	That's what I want to find out.
