In "Double Play," Curly Joe finds himself mistaken for the legendary baseball star Homer McSlugger, leading to a wild scheme where he's hypnotized and sent to sabotage a big game—only to shine because his mind believes he's the real deal. Moe and Larry, tied up and desperate, must unravel the truth before the crooks’ plan succeeds, all while Curly Joe remains blissfully unaware. Art by Joe Messerli, with inks and letters by Tony DiPaola, this 1970 Western Comics classic delivers classic slapstick with a sports twist.

In "Double Play," Curly Joe DeRita finds himself mistaken for baseball legend Homer McSlugger, leading crooks to kidnap him, hypnotize him, and send him into a game to sabotage the team and cash in on the bets. With Moe and Larry tied up and the real McSlugger nowhere to be found, Curly Joe’s natural clumsiness turns into surprising skill—thanks to his subconscious belief he’s a star. But when the truth starts to unravel, the only thing that can clear the confusion might just be a well-aimed baseball.
