OLBERMANN: Bests in the moment - and beef with Alec Baldwin? I have no beef with Alec
Baldwin.
First, on this date in 1881 was born the original Russian revolutionary, Alexander Kerensky,
who led the overthrow of the czar's government and the subsequent democratic provisional
government for about four months, until he was toppled by the communists. He wound up
working at the Hoover Institute and living in New York, and his last public speech was
in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Let's play Oddball.
Hey, it's bat night at Yankee Stadium, everybody. Brett Gardener of the Yankees lets his go
into the seats. A young man named Jacob Smith dodges the bat, which lands in front of his
seat. He and a gentleman named Ben Urdle (ph) both have it. Mr. Urdle graciously turned
it over to Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith happens to be my nephew. For his kindness, Mr. Urdle
gets his mug on TV and our eternal thanks. Jacob continues our family tradition of getting
whacked with stuff at the ballpark. So can I have the bat?
JACOB OLBERMANN, NEPHEW OF KEITH OLBERMANN: You can bid on it on eBay like everybody else.
OLBERMANN: My nephew, everybody, Mr. Junior achievement. Go. Go.
Go.
From a bat to a cat, hey, would you look at that? There's a cat on the field. Like the
rogue kitty at New York last week, this one at Wrigley Field in Chicago wanted to see
the game. The cat was first spotted running from the grounds crew, then biting by the
grounds crew, then getting helped into the stands by the grounds crew, as the crowd groaned.
Cubs win, cat loses. Meow.
