David as Sluggo the Catcher

[fuzzygobo]

There's another long-lost bit from around 1973 starring David. Here he plays a baseball catcher named Sluggo (Jerry Nelson narrates) who's about to start playing, but has to put on all his protective gear. Trouble is, he can't remember which body part they go on, so Jerry helps him out.

On go his shinguards, chest protector, facemask (David even puts it on his butt, prompting Jerry to scream "NOT BACK THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!") and finally his mitt. (Good thing David didn't have to put on a cup!)

We're ready to play ball, David crouches into a catcher's stance, ready for the pitch.(Drum roll, please). But after a long pause nobody throws the ball. So David yells "COME ON, LET ME HAVE IT!!!!"

Then the poor guy gets pelted with baseballs, footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, volleyballs, tennis balls (maybe even a hockey puck or two), and some roll all the way to the edge of the stage. Gives a whole new meaning to balls to the wall.

Yes, read the first post. Fuzzygobo says Jerry narrates and tells Sluggo what to do.

I already read the first post before I saw the video. I miss the good old days.
