Dolph, a German Shepherd from New York, is holding a rope. On the
other end: “A 9-year-old horse…we’re the same size”
Garry says Pee-Wee is a Canyon Horse
from Colorado, found wild and believed to be descended from horses left behind
by the Spaniards in the 16th century. In 1938, Grand Canyon Park Ranger Bert Lauzon
wrote of encountering wild horses that were slightly smaller than normal.
Still, most miniature horses today (and quite possibly Pee-Wee) are the result
of careful and extended selective breeding.
Tommy Leach from Haines City, Florida and Fred Parent from
Sanford, Maine: “We played in the first World Series – on opposing teams
(1903)”
Leach (82 years old here) played for
the Pittsburgh Pirates and Parent (84) for the Boston Americans, though he
refers to them here as the Red Sox. The
original Series was a best-of-nine affair, compared to the best-of-seven series
we have today. Boston won that series
five games to three. The 1960 World
Series, which pits the Pirates against the New York Yankees, would get underway
on October 5.
Special Guest Jonathan Winters: “My mother is leading the applause
in the studio”
Winters brings funny hats for himself
and the panel to wear during the game.
Winters, of course, takes on different personas for each hat he
wears. Winters’ mother Alice Bahman is a
Springfield, Ohio radio personality and quite entertaining in her own right. Winters is early in his career here, and is promoting
his debut album “Down to Earth” (Verve 1960).
