The Field of Dreams - Right in the Front Yard

Mad about your Baseball or Softball? Have a look at this fella, who has done a Kevin Costner by building a Wiffle-Ball stadium on his quarter-acre block!!!

Gotta love it.

 

Who's On First?

Before I even knew what Baseball was, I knew all about this routine from one of the great comedy acts of all time - Abbott and Costello. While they performed it many times, I don't think they ever topped this version, which is extracted from their 1945 film, The Naughty Nineties. Enjoy!!

 

The Naked Gun

Don't Try This At Home... Or Anywhere (please!)

Trick photography, or one of the great saves of all time? I think his little smirk suggests the former!
