That was great!
The cameras shouldn’t have given him away; it might have worked.
I remember laughing with Dad about it

Pet peeve: When people say Bobby returned to the dugout "disguised as Groucho Marx". That's pretty far from the truth.

'ordered' to cease and desist by The New York Metropolitan Baseball
