I remember seeing that routine in a Loony Tunes cartoon when I was a kid (a long time ago). But I think the dog said "Maybe I should have said Ty Cobb" at the end.

Here's my baseball joke:

The Milwaukee Braves played a double header against the Brooklyn Dodgers many years ago. In the first game, the Braves pitcher, Mel Famey, pitched a complete game in a wild 7-6 victory. Famey celebrated his victory between games by downing several beers in the clubhouse. He continued drinking beer in the bullpen during the second game.

Well, the second game went into extra innings and Milwaukee went through almost all of its pitchers... in the 16th inning, Brooklyn got the first runner on and the Milwaukee manager called Mel Famey out of the bullpen to pitch. Needless to say, Mel Famey was drunk and couldn't get a pitch over the plate... he walked the next 4 batters and Brooklyn won 5-3.

When interviewed after the game, the Brooklyn Dodger manager was asked what the key to victory was in the second game... his reply was: "Pabst Blue Ribbon - it was the beer that made Mel Famey walk us."


(If you're under 40 you probably won't get the joke)
