apushatayid,

I heard 2 very cute stories about Yeshivah Bochurim who were into Baseball back in the 60s:

1) In the Telshe Yeshiva during one of the World Series Games the boys were in middle of learning in the Mishmar Seder and did’nt want to stop learning, but wanted to know the score, so the shut off all the lamps on the yartzeit Board on Mizrach and made up that one side was the yankees and the other side was the opposing team and one guy listned to the game, and when either side scored a run he would go over to the board and turn on one bulb on the the designated side and all the bochurim would look at the board every once in a while and stay updated.

2) The Boys used to say when someone had a very good “Kushya”, “It’s so Shver that even Mickey Mantle ken es nisht upshlugin
