In the Abbott and Costello radio episode titled “Lou Substitutes for Joe DiMaggio,” Lou gets the outrageous idea to take Joe DiMaggio’s place on the Yankees while the star player recovers from an injury. Convinced he can handle the big leagues, Lou heads to the ballpark—only to cause chaos on and off the field with his usual clumsy antics. The episode is a grand slam of classic misunderstandings, baseball gags, and fast-paced wordplay.
