“In The Old Days, I Played A Whole Doubleheader With A Broken Leg”

Billy Crystal recently joined Jimmy Fallon, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Higgins and that other guy in a fun sequel to the classic Abbott & Costello routine, “Who’s on First?” But it’s still not as great as the perfect mid-’80s SNL short that Crystal and Christopher Guest did about the Negro Leagues. It beautifully captures the tall-tale culture that grows around those not deemed important enough to be given consideration by mainstream historians of their era.
