In the famous comedy sketch “Who’s on First?” made popular by Abbott and Costello, only two characters appear, but many others are mentioned. Imagine how if “Who’s on First?” was made of into a comedic baseball movie today with the sketch as the first scene. The movie would take place in the 1930's and would center around a rookie baseball player, Louis Costello, who joins a fictional baseball team in which all players have misleading nicknames.read more

Description of William “Bud” Abbott (Team Manager):

William Abbott, who is usually called Bud, is the manager of the baseball team. He seems very formal on the surface but is in fact fun and interesting inside. Bud's fiance breaks up with him near the start of the movie, which causes him to become depressed. Other characters try to motivate Bud to become happier, but it is difficult. He makes rash decisions and becomes very aggressive before they can. This causes him to seem like an antagonist until later in the movie.
