Ward Cleaver: You know, it's funny. You boys hardly know these players' names. When I was a boy, I thought they'd never be forgotten.
Wallace 'Wally' Cleaver: Yeah, but now they got a whole bunch of new guys who will never be forgotten!
Ward Cleaver: Guess that's the way it goes, Wally!
Featured review
AND ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!
It was not that long ago, Beave had a little "problem" with Ward's golf clubs, remember? You think he would have learned not to touch his dad's stuff, right?
On a shelf in his den, Ward has a prize baseball, autographed when he was a kid, by the legends.
Exactly how he came into contact with all these sports icons --and all at one time-- to sign this maginificent baseball is the question of the century!
Foremost, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig are among the signers! Amazing Grace.
Larry stops by and before you know it, the guys are playing catch with the baseball on the front lawn.
This is perhaps the MOST outrageous scene of the entire series! Definitely a little dark comedy infused by producers and writers Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, who may have been devout baseball fans themselves.
The ball is ruined... so Beave and Larry get another baseball and scribble it with a bunch of forged signatures. Not a bad strategy, for a couple of minutes anyway.
By the way. IF Ward actually had in his possession a baseball, signed by both Ruth and Gehrig, not to mention a few other celebs of the era, it would have been worth at least 100,000 dollars in today's market. And that's just a guess.
Beave may have just thrown away his and Wally's inheritence.
This is laugh out loud stuff, and add some barbs thrown in by the great egomaniac, Fred Rutherford. If only there was a fitting sequel to this episode where Beave went to Larry's house and played frisbee on the front lawn with ALL of Mrs. Mondello's prize china!
An episode you will not forget too soon. "A" for originality and an ulcer! SEASON 3 EPISODE 28.
