If you’re old enough to have been watching Saturday Night Live on November 11, 1978 (I am and I was), you may have caught this classic sketch which takes place at a meeting of the St. Mickey’s Knights of Columbus.
The organization’s leader, played by John Belushi, announces that the club would have a special guest speaker that night. Dan Aykroyd, playing the Knights’ treasurer, notes that the group had to go into debt to pay the speaker’s steep $900 fee.
Belushi then introduces this special guest: “the immortal ”Chico Escuela", a former all-star baseball player for the Chicago Cubs who came to the US from the Dominican Republic.
After being introduced, Chico — portrayed by Garrett Morris— gets up at the podium and says in a thick Hispanic accent:
“Thank you berry much. Baseball been berry, berry good to me. Thank you. God bless you. Gracias!” Then he sits down
Astonished by the brevity of this $900 “speech,” Belushi’s character asks: “Is that it Chico?”
Chico thinks about it a second, gets up again and adds: “Keep you eye...keep you eyes...on de ball.” After which, he sits down again.
Belushi says sardonically: "Thanks Chico, you've been an inspiration to all of us."
(As further inspiration, there is a crisp $1 bill for the first to find.)
CONGRATS TO DEADAHEAD ON HIS FIRST FTF!
