OT: Baseball Icon Meets The Three Stooges

[Buythatcard]

Throughout the years I have seen hundreds of pictures of The 3 Stooges. But this is the first time that I've seen one that had a baseball player with them.

Post your pictures showing ballplayers with famous entertainers from back in the day.

In case you haven't figured out who was catching. It was Connie Mack.

Love that pic Howard!

As a huge Harold Lloyd fan, I have been looking for a good copy of this still from the movie "Speedy" for a while.

Not only does it contain Harold as The Babe's cabbie, take a look at that fellow walking by in this blow up.

Justin,

The image of Gehrig in the background is the coolest part of that pic.

Duke Snider was in an episode of Father Knows Best. Willie Mays was in an episode of Bewtiched, although I can't find a photo of that one...

Willie Mays & Don Drysdale were on The Donna Reed Show multiple times

The Donna Reed Show featured several celebrity guest stars appearing as themselves during its eight-year run. Baseball player Don Drysdale appeared in four episodes while Willie Mays appeared in three episodes and Leo Durocher once

Here is one of many -

Here is a picture of Willie Mays on "Bewitched". Don Drysdale was on "The Brady Bunch" and Leo Durocher on "Mister Ed" and "The Beverly Hillbillies".

The best appearance for Willie was on Mr. Belvedere when they put together a complete "ringer" team for a birthday with Bob Uecker, Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Johnny Bench, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Reggie Jackson, and Harmon Killebrew.

I don't think a group like that has ever been put together for a sitcom event before or after.

You can watch the episode online (in amazing bad quality, lol) here -

Drysdale and Koufax did quite a bit of TV.

Pardon my ignorance on this issue but I did not realize that mesh, fitted baseball hats were available back in the late 50's, early 60's when this photo was taken. Its obvious Duke is holding a mesh fitted hat in this photo. I was born in 1963 and throughout my childhood I never saw or owned a mesh hat like the one Duke has in his hands.

Just saw this on You Tube for the first time. Worth watching.

Thanks for loading up these images, guys.

My love for the 3 Stooges is immense; that photo with Connie Mack was special. Really, all of the responses are terrific.

My favorite of those mentioned is the Mr. Ed episode with Leo Durocher, as well as several other Dodgers such as Johnny Roseboro, Sandy Koufax, Willie Davis, and Moose Skowren. That was a scream, especially when Ed slid into home plate! The frightened look on catcher Roseboro was priceless. Perfect timing on that episode too, as it led off the 1963-64 season, airing a few days before Sandy took the mound of Game 1 of the 1963 World Series. Nice memories.
