Directed By Dick Jacobs, written by
Phil Foster "A Brooklyn Baseball Fan"
was recorded on Coral Records in 1954
Foster, is best known for his roll as
Frank DeFazio, Laverne’s
pizzeria-owning father, on the hit TV
show “Laverne and Shirley.” The 45 RPM
record was issued in a standard generic
Coral record sleeve. Side A features "A
Brooklyn Baseball Fan," Side B "The
Kids On The Corner"
On the comical recording; "A Brooklyn Baseball Fan," Phil Foster,
"Brooklyn's Ambassador To The U.S.A."
featured dialogue
with Chorus and Orchestra performs his
interpretation of a loyal bleacherite
in Ebbets Field giving support to
pitcher Carl Erskine, who keeps
hollering his support for his boy Oisk
at a crucial spot in the ninth inning.
But when Oisk walks the batter, Foster
screams the ultimate insult: "Trade 'em
to da Jynts!"
In 1957
Phil Foster recorded "Let's Keep
The Dodgers in Brooklyn" on Coral
Records, a futile plea to keep the
Dodgers in Brooklyn. Listen to
"A Brooklyn Baseball Fan" on YouTube.

Intro: "Take Me Out To Th Ball Game"
(Sung) Take me out to the ball game
Take me out with the crowd
Dialogue Starts:
That What I like, baseball. I don't like no
winter sport.
Skiing
What's that?
Skiing, that's for kids that's what it is.
Me, I'm a baseball man. Not only I like baseball but
I'm a Brooklyn Dodger Man.
And don't laugh but us people from Brooklyn cause we
know what we're doin'
The rest of the world is mixed up.
I tell ya da truth, I like givin' da impression of a
true Brooklyn Dodger fan
If you probably know all ball games in Brooklyn start
at 1:30.
Game starts at 1:30, half past 7 in the morning
You'll find this fella standing in line.
7:30 in the morning
He wouldn't wait on line this long for a job.
11:00 he yell's to somebody, anybody
Open the gates, ya creep, I'm sweatin' my sandwiches
are spoilin.'
Finally open the gates, after waiting on line so long;
ya figure this guy would run to the front row front
seat Wouldn't you?
Not this fella,' his favorite seat has been 15th row behind a pole.
He doesn't like baseball. 1:00 somebody in a subtle
Brooklyn voice will suggest,
that the ball game is about to begin. Something like;
Here comes the Brooks' who's pitchin'?
This fella says let me look, I can see 20/20.
20 inches one eye, 20 inches from the other eye. It's
Erskin.
Erskin! Wadda they doin' trowing the game?
This fella says, let him pitch.
This fella says, I don't wanna.
ththis' Let-em pitch!
ththi' I don't wanna!
You letem pitch! OK
You know if it wasn't for that fella saying OK Erskin
would never pitch a ballgame.
Then the guy says I betcha' a half a buck, the first
ball Carl throws is a strike.
Put up or shut up. Put your money where your mouth is.
I betcha' a half a buck against your glasses, and send
you home blind.
He's throwing the ball bets off.
Strike One! (mumbled) blinded it cost me a half a buck.
This goes on until about the 9th inning when the
Brooklyns are leading 2 to 1.
Possible. So the fella in the center field bleachers
begins to talk tough Oisk is
the pitcher to hold the lead. Erskin is only 10 miles
away, but he's not gonna hit my boy.
My boy is talkin' pretty loud. He sound something like;
pitchem Carl, I'm witcha.' I'm witcha' Carl Baby, I'm
witcha. Ball One.
Don't mean a thing Carl. You could throw it anytime you
want baby. Your beautiful baby.
I'm with you __boy, araie-araraya-whatawaybatieboy Ball
two.
Don't feed him the fat one Oisk, don't givem' nothin'
to hit.
Throw the ball to his head Carl. I'm with you boy. Ball
three.
What ya doin'? what ya doin'? We took you outta'
the minors for this?
Whata' you doin'? Ball Four. Trade 'em
to da Jynts!
(Sung) For It's One, two, three strikes your out at the
Ole ball game.
