Amazing wordplay. I think this is an art that died with vaudeville, this sort of sustained riff based on miscommunication. Perfection.

Kids in my daughter's theater group performed this recently, and inspired me to find the real thing.

Just to Recap:
First Base: Who
Second Base: What
Third base: I Don't Know
Left field: Why
Center Field: Because
Pitcher: Tomorrow
Catcher: Today
Shortstop: I Don't Give a Darn

For the whole conversation: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/humor4.shtml

Enjoy!
