The best thing about this short is aside from borrowing from Friz's cartoon of four years earlier, it preps some of the gags for 1946's "Baseball Bugs" one of the all-time great sports cartoons.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589696115267272664.post-6245646921032943432013-07-28T17:52:31.195-07:002013-07-28T17:52:31.195-07:00Carl Hubble, Giants pitcher.Carl Hubble, Giants pitcher.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.com
