Gibby, Lou Brock, Tom Seaver. Even Jay Johnstone and Lou Johnson. This is madness. Let's take a poll on who's next.

The Primatene pitchman?
I'm gonna write in my vote for Bob Uecker (86).
Update: In the YouTube comments, somebody posted that the guy in the brown suit walking down the aisle starting at about 0:10 looks like Wayne Knight. Newman!

The Primatene pitchman? I'm gonna write in my vote for Bob Uecker (86). Jacoby Ellsbury - Breaks rib. Misses 8/9 of the season. Refuses to travel with team. Bob Gibson - Has asthma. Breaks leg. Back less than two months later to pitch in World Series. Waiting for young people to tell me again why their generation is better. |

"We've lost Gibby! Come on, girls!"  “Let’s all stick together. One for all and all for one. To the squadron,” says Gibby. “To the birds that were lost,” says Woody. “To the lost squadron,” Gibby adds, and they drink. |

Why did he choose the Dickens character David Copperfield as his stage name? Rudiger: Don't you see, that's the genius of it. If he had chosen Nicholas Nickleby, you'd know he's making it up. |

He could turn nickels into quarters. Imagine him doing that on the old Dean Martin Show? |

What the hell do you do around here all day anyway? rhs: It escaped you, too. Be that as it may. |

This urinal cake's been here since the Silent Era. You'd have to be insane to inspect it. |

I see cakes are your specialty [looks at rudiger's resume closer]. What the hell is this? Urinal cakes? Get the hell out of here! rudiger: Urinal cakes are important. Otherwise the bathroom would smell like urine. Do I get the job or not? HR Manager: What do you think? rudiger: Great. I can start Monday. (rudiger is led away by security) |

I think you may mean loaf. We call them "cakes" in New England. It's a regionalism, like hoagie/sub/hero/grinder or soda/pop? I'll make a note of that the next time I'm up your way. rhs: Are you ever up my way? No. |

No. Well, if you do ever venture up here and I offer you some cake while doing that annoying "air quote" thing, you'd be wise to pass. |
