Baseball Comic
Continued from preceding page
Area fans read rave reviews
about Patkin's comedy and so
Wilkes Barre's management
decided to give him a "night"
at an upcoming game.
"We were playing Scranton,
which had future major
leaguers like Mel Parnell and
Maury McDermott," he
recalled with relish. "Second
place was at stake. The night
before, 500 came to the game.
"That night, there were
6,000 there, including my
parents. I pitched my heart —
and my arm — out and we
won.
"Afterwards, my teammates
crowded around: 'What did
they give you?' they kept ask-
ing. I told them: 'They gave
me . . . my release as a
player."
Patkin made his major
league comedy debut on an
auspicious occasion in.
Cleveland's 80,000-seat
stadium: The honoring of
Hall-of-Famers Babe Ruth, ay
Cobb and Tris Speaker.
Remembered Patkin: "The
Babe was dying of cancer and
could hardly talk then. But
he borrowed someone's spikes,
rolled up his pants legs and
tried to hit one out of the
park.
"He hit some singles, but a
lot of pop-ups too. He just
didn't have the strength to hit
home runs any more.
"There wasn't a dry eye in
the place. I went out to do my
two innings, wondering, 'Am
I really that funny?' "
He obviously was.
His next appearance came
when the Detroit Tigers
played Cleveland and Tiger
star Hank • Greenberg —
very, very serious guy" — told
Maxie, "Go ahead, kid, I'll be
your stooge."
Patkin continued:
"So he kept his foot on first
base during infield drills and
I pretended to give him a hot
foot. He jumped up and down,
grabbed me by the shirt and
picked me up — all 150
pounds of me — and shook
ma"
Other stars that he played
with and against in the Navy
also downed with him, like
Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rizzuto
and Ted Williams.
Nowadays, Patkin bemoans
the lack of major league pro-
spects on every team's roster,
as in the old days, and the
lack of Jewish players.
"I make a joke about it in
some of my appearances," he
explained. "I say, the Jewish
players don't want to ride the
buses — they want to own the
buses!
"I think they're smarter
than the Jewish athletes of
my day. They realize how
hard it is to make it to the big
leagues; they know about the
long bus rides and the other
hardships.
"Most of them can afford to
go to college. We couldn't; we
were dummies who lived for
sports?' ❑
