I've still got that Eddie Murhpy skit on video tape from many, many years ago. Such a classic that I actually never taped over it. It was part of the Saturday Night Live Shorts Show.

One of the best of the short skits was Billy Crystal and Christopher Guest as the two old negro ball players. "Rooster" and "King" I believe they were called. Absolute classic. Those guys played the parts so well you almost would think they were the real thing. "Smelt Night", "broken tibia/fibia", cameos by Dave Winfield and Yogi Berra. Rooster was so fast that he "hit a line drive once and it hit him in the head when he slid into second base".
