Last week Junior asked him if he had a baseball story, and was greeted with this Dizzy Disney fable: “Once upon a time Dizzy, DAFFY, DAZZY, DIXIE, GABBY, GOOFY, and poc were walking through the woods with PRINCE HAL when they met OLD Hoss, MULE and Goose talk- ing to DUCKY WUCKY and HARRY THE Horse.
