A very funny skit.  I think it is their most famous one.  I think it first appeared on their old time radio show.  I first saw it in a movie of theirs, don't recall which one.

Let's see here:

Who is on First Base
What is on Second Base
I Don't Know is on Third Base
Why is the Left Field
Tomorrow is the Pitcher
Today is the Catcher
I Don't Give a Darn is the Short-Stop
Naturally is the Center Field

Quite an unusual team with unusual names themselves.  Some have fairly long names, and some very short.  Funny routine indeed.

Costello's reaction when he learned that I Don't Give a Darn is the Short-Stop is one of the best parts. LOL

Abbot and Costello's skits are amazingly funny.  They even got another classic 'Two Tens for a Five.'  I managed to get a hold of a few of their shows, and everyone of them is hilarious.
