Three Stooges Day at The Ballpark
“Listen here, Mr. Ticket-Taker, we didn’t come to the ballpark today to get bopped on the head as soon as we got here! – You got that, buddy?”
(Once your read this brief piece, if the featured photo still leaves you clueless, ask your grandfather to explain the title of this column. And thank you again, Darrell Pittman, for the contribution of this amusing historical note.)

FAN MAKES ERROR; SLUGS TICKET MAN WHEN HIT BY FOUL
PAMPA, Tex., July 4 (1949) (AP) – As a Pampa man handed his ticket to a doorman at the Clovis-Pampa baseball game here last night, a foul ball hit him on the head.
He thought the ticket taker had hit him. He slugged the ticket taker. Two hits, no runs, one error.

Did you ever have to bat against Curly’s “nyukle” ball? š

No, but I believe that each of the Stooges had a good screwball.
