1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 This is Retro Sports Radio. Visit RetroSeasons.com for more sports history. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000 And ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce one of the outstanding and most beloved athletes of all time, 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000 now in Hollywood making a picture for Sam Goldwyn called the pride of the Yankees, Mr. Bay Bruce. 4 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Well, hiya, Bob. Well, hiya, babe. 5 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000 Well, I bet that's the first time you said hi to your babe to anybody that wore pants. 6 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:46,000 You're right. It's a novelty to see a babe in California who isn't wearing slacks. You know, babe, 7 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000 and I want to tell you it's funny seeing you holding a script instead of a bat. 8 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:58,000 Well, Bob, I read this script, but I'd feel safer if I was holding a bat. 9 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Oh, you're perfectly safe behind this machine gun. 10 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000 Oh, I'm not nervous. This isn't so different from baseball. 11 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000 It isn't? 12 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000 Well, only a little. In baseball, after four bad ones, it's the batter that walks. 13 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000 On this program, it's the audience. 14 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:25,000 Well, that's one nice thing about our show. We let anybody walk out who wants to if they can get through those bear traps in the aisle. 15 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000 But I'm certainly glad you could come up here, babe. You know, I made a nice impression today showing up here at Camp Cook with you. 16 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000 Yeah, and as we were walking along, arm in arm, one chap pointed to us and said, 17 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:47,000 I never thought I'd ever see the king of swat wind up with a foul ball. 18 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000 I wonder what made him think you were a foul ball. 19 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000 You know, babe, looking at those big shoulders, I can see why you're the king of the four baggers. 20 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:05,000 Thanks, Bob. And look at your big eyes. I can see why you were the king of the two baggers. 21 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:14,000 I like these bags under my eyes. In case of a blackout, my nose has a choice of air raid shelters. 22 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 You know, Bob, maybe I can give you some pointers on how to keep in shape. 23 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000 You're going to give me pointers? Look at that shape of yours. 24 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Well, what's wrong with it? 25 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000 Well, a soldier passed by before pointed to your ankles and said, 26 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:32,000 ain't that kind of a small landing gear for a flying fortress? 27 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,000 Look here, focal nose. You're not exactly streamlined. Look at that part short of you. 28 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000 Well, you think I'm punchy? Why, you won't walk down the street 29 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000 because you're afraid of being arrested for hoarding meat. 30 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:51,000 Why, I'm in great shape, Bob. Here, feel that muscle in my arm. 31 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Hmm, hard. Now feel my muscle. 32 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Hmm, large. 33 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000 Wait a minute, wait a minute. Feel the muscle in my other arm. 34 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000 Okay. 35 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000 Well, what does it feel like? 36 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:15,000 Well, does it come in those delicious flavors? 37 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000 You even look like Don Wilson, but babe, don't you think I have a good physique for baseball? 38 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Perfect. Boy, you could be trapped between first and second while your nose was stealing third. 39 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,000 Well, it comes in handy for picking up cigar butts, but you know, babe, 40 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000 you may be big and strong, but I'll bet there's some forms of athletics which I'm better than you. 41 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000 Really? Did you ever hit a baseball 450 feet? 42 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Well, no. 43 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000 Did you ever pitch a 16 in a game? 44 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,000 No. 45 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000 Did you ever drive a golf ball 480 yards? 46 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:56,000 No, but what's your high score on a yo-yo? 47 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:03,000 And you've got to admit that I didn't do so bad in that exhibition golf match we played this weekend up at Sacramento, 48 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000 you and I against Bing Crosby and Governor Olson. 49 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000 Boy, that Crosby could really slam the ball, can't he? How come he isn't so hard? 50 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,000 Well, somebody told him they were stork's eggs. 51 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000 What did you think of the way I played golf? 52 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Why, Bob, I thought you were one of the finest golfers the game has ever produced. 53 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000 Honest engine? 54 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000 Not blind pale face. 55 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000 Well, you should talk. You played golf like it was baseball. 56 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000 You got up there in the first tee at Sacramento, slammed that golf ball across the lot, and started running for home. 57 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:44,000 Well, what would you do if you broke Governor Olson's window? 58 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Same thing you did, pay for it with a bad check. 59 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Well, Bob, I want to tell you it's been plenty of thrill coming up here and seeing all these swell soldiers. 60 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000 Well, babe, I'm sure they had a big thrill seeing you. And tell me, before you go, do you think I could be a good soldier? 61 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000 Sure, Bob, there's a place for the service for you. 62 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000 Well, where's that? 63 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000 Why don't you, John, the ambulance corpse? 64 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000 Babe, please. Babe, please. 65 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Babe, please, stop spacing your words, will you? And look at your script. That's corp. 66 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Look in your mirror. That's corpse. 67 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Thank you, Babe Ruth.
