It was an interesting show. It was filmed just weeks after the 1952 World Series, because not only did Edwards congratulate Stengel for winning it, but Billy Martin was in the audience and Edwards cited the great catch he made to save the series, which was of course in 1952. What is even more interesting is Edwards apologized to the audience because they were supposed to also have on the show the new Yankee phenom Mickey Mantle but he cancelled at the last minute. I'm guessing the Mick was still hung over from the night before.

I assumed Casey stood for KC, but kind of forgot where he was from. I bet the Museum of Television in NYC would have a copy of the show.
