Take Me Out To The Ball Game Page #4

How's that?

I said, "You're stepping in the bucket."

Thank you.

Maybe you'd like show me how to do it.

If you don't mind.

I'd like to.

Slappy, would you get me

the water bucket, please?

May I?

You see, here's what's happening.

Instead of stepping into the ball, like this...

...you're stepping over here...

...and into the bucket.

Let me get this straight.

When I stand at the plate, I'm like this.

No, I hold it a little higher. Up here.

You see?

And while waiting for the pitch,

I wiggle a little bit.

Like this.

Just to get myself set.

Yes, I've noticed that.

Now, as the ball comes over...

...try stepping into it

as you bring the bat back like...

I'm so sorry, Mr. O'Brien.

Would you try it, please?

Pitch to him, would you, Joe?

But easy on that arm.

Yeah, easy on the arm.

Okay.

What a poke!

That's four bases in any ball park!

That's the idea, Eddie,

but don't try to kill them all.

You know Charlie Davis of Cincinnati

only hit 279 but he batted in 102 runs.

Why don't you get Charlie Davis?

Cut the cracks, Eddie!

Mr. Gilhuly, I seem to have

taken over your job.

Not at all, Miss Higgins.

Please forgive me.

I'll see you back at the hotel.

Let's get busy! Get around there.

Come on, Dennis.

Look out!

Ain't that something?

She's the kind of girl

I've always dreamed about.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be married

to a girl who played baseball?

I remember this time last season,

we were playing Scranton.

Great town!

Anyway there's a dame named Maxine

that's kind of sweet on me.

A very refined, artistic little chick

with plenty on the ball.

- A kootch dancer from the circus.

- That's what I mean.

Goldberg, give me the bread.

Anyway, this minx is really warm for me.

One night, she's walking me home

after the show...

...when all of a sudden

I hear a flute playing a kootch dance.

You know like this.

- Good evening, boys.

- Good evening.

- Evening, Miss Higgins.

- Hello, Denny.

Sit down.

What do you think it is, a formal affair?

Is she gonna eat with us, too?

Hey, watch your language, fellows,

and your table manners, too.

She called me Denny.

This may not be such a good idea.

You're kind of cramping their style.

They're not used to eating with skirts.

I mean, ladies.

The sooner they get used to seeing me

around, the better it will be for all of us.

Yes, ma'am.

Would someone be so kind

as to pass me the bread, please?

- Yes, indeed.

- With pleasure.

Thank you very much.

Mind your manners!

What's the matter?

I had my pinky out, didn't I?

Temper, Mr. Zalinka. Temper.

Have you boys seen the fashion page

in this week's Vanity Fair?

There's the cutest pair of pants

with a peg top and a narrow bottom...
