:29:00
he went hunting.
:29:01
He loved to hunt...
:29:02
just like his father
and his father's father.
:29:05
Chasing a rabbit, he stumbled,
and his rifle went off.
:29:11
The bullet entered his leg.
:29:13
Two days later,
it was amputated.
:29:17
They said he would
never pitch again.
:29:20
But the next season,
he was back.
:29:22
He had one leg...
:29:24
but he had something
more important.
:29:26
He had heart.
:29:30
The following winter...
:29:31
another accident
cost Kirby Kyle an arm...
:29:34
fortunately not
his pitching arm.
:29:37
He had one leg and one arm...
:29:40
but more than that...
:29:42
he had heart.
:29:45
The next winter...
:29:47
going after duck...
:29:48
his gun misfired.
:29:52
He was blind...
:29:54
but he had instinct as to
where to throw the baseball.
:29:57
Instinct...and heart.
:30:00
The following year...
:30:02
Kirby Kyle was run over
by a truck and killed.
:30:06
The following season...
:30:08
he won 18 games...
:30:11
in the Big League in the sky.
:30:15
This has been Bill Kern...
:30:17
with another
favorite sports legend.
:30:20
Well, to tell you the truth,
you look pretty good.
:30:23
While uncle Abe loved
the "Bill Kern Sports Show"...
:30:25
his wife Ceil adored a very
prominent ventriloquist.
:30:28
And this always used
to drive Abe crazy.
:30:32
He's a ventriloquist
on the radio.
:30:34
How do know he's
not moving his lips?
:30:36
Who cares?
Leave me alone.
:30:51
Ceil and Abe's daughter Ruthie
had her own favorite program.
:30:54
Naturally, it was one
of those romantic boy crooners.
:30:58
She and her girlfriends used
to sit and swoon endlessly...
