Woman: Whoops.
These cylinders are wax, and this will play two minutes. This is a story.
It's humorous.
Recording: Uncle Joy [inaudible] plays a game of baseball by Mr. Cal Stuart. That is on record. [laughs]
Well, sure, I've been out to see one of your baseball games here in New York. Why, she just about took my breath away. I couldn't tell at first whether it was a battle or a riot. [laughs] Well, I never played but one game of baseball in my life that I can remember on.
I don't count [inaudible]. I never will forget that. You see, it was a long in the spring time of the year down on the farm. Weather was pretty nice and warm and sun-shiny, boys were feeling a little bit kittenish, and they said to me, Uncle, we'd like to have you help us play a game of baseball. I said, boys, I'm getting leaving my tools for them kind of past times, but I'll help you play one game. I'll be doggoned if I don't. [laughs]
Well, we got out in the pasture. The kids were getting ready to play. Got the bases and bats put around their places and popped in the drinking water up in the base corner while we could get a drink when we wanted it. And I happened to look around, and I was doggoned it. Biggest billy goat I've ever laid my two eyes on. [laughs]
You oughta see the boys. They're getting out of the pasture. Well, I would have got out too, but I got stuck in the fence. Well, you ought to see that billy goat to get me through the fence. Well, now, he didn't get me all the way through, because I was halfway through when he got there. But he got the last half through. [laughs]
I didn't make any home run, but I was the only fella had a score out of the game. I couldn't see the score, but I had it. Every time I wrote it down I know just exactly how the game scored. [laughs] I'm going to look around see what other games is out here in New York. If you got anything can beat a game of baseball with a billy goat for a batter, I'll be doggoned if I don't want to see it. [laughs]
