Lou Mason - Cantor Leibele Mashioff -The Cantor and the Baseball game

ladies and gentlemen since we have television everybody but everybody became interested in television and everybody became interested in baseball through television young old everybody watches television but we Jews have such a model that every time the World Series has to be played for some reason or other it always seems to conflict with the high holy days if you recall that this past year the third game of the series came out on who remembers what day if you recall a few years ago when the New York Giants paid the Yankees the sixth game that crucial game of the series it came out also on young kids and many rabbis were complaining they had what was called a floating mini in fact one Rabbi said he never saw so many Jews with the amateurs doubting as he did that day in Miami Stadium this is a story of a Cantor who since the day he migrated from Europe into the United States and moved into the Bronx and became an odd in the giant fan every time the New York Giants came into New York to play he never missed the game so when that sixth game came along he placed a 25 bet that his Giants will definitely beat the Yankees in the sixth game and bought himself a grand stance that only to discover a few days later to his model that the sixth game came out on Yom Kippur but he's very lucky very fortunate he had a large choir surrounding him and he noticed one of the little choir boys wasn't singing too much so during the services he looked at his watch and every time he thought there should be a score by then he called the little choir boy to him and tell him and told him to go out and take a look at the school and an old choir boy would relay the score to the Canton when his Giants were losing he was very sad and he showed it in his prayers and when they were winning he was very very happy and that too he showed him his spirit so I'm going to give you my version of what I saw took place that afternoon between the husband and his little choir boy I want you to picture yourself in the synagogue it's one o'clock the Canton the choir are going to report it to conduct the musaf services and at the same time Nevada his New York Giants are up at bat against Yankees and I have a G minor chord uh sir sorry that's enough this is not part of the problem your mind is giving one more card and use all the videos [Music] nearer [Music] imposters [Music] the little boy ran away he came back he looked at the character and he said boy can't decanter boy can turn [Music] he's a big character [Applause] [Laughter] oh boy cancer are you in trouble Okay the reason I want you to know it's now the fourth inning the Yankees have four and your Giants are losing they only have three the Canter heard it and he said I am oh see in the heart more all I hear is foreign [Music] over there [Applause] [Music] yes [Music] another boy ran away he came back he looked at the Canter and he said or he can't there oh boy cater oh boy can't or if I got wonderful nose when you can turn oh pantries and I'll want you to know it's now the seventh inning the Yankees have five and your Giants are winning they have six the cat that heard that he felt so happy so he began to sing with God yeah [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] work the little boy ran away he came back he looked at the Canter and he said boy cancer cancer oh and they cast her character [Laughter] [Music] oh boy cancer are you with that dog okay it's still not watching and all the game is over your Giants had seven and the Yankees won the series they have a character heard it and just at this moment he was reaching the nagilist service he turned over the next page and he said he is [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] and I'm very happy that the Affairs are speaking
