Joe P.I first saw him in a pre game stint at the stadium when he first came up.
I'm sitting there and all of a suddan someone jumps out of the Yank dugout - dressed up in short pants, a flimsy shirt with a string tie, wearing a little round hat, a large hula hoop ring in one hand, and looking more like Little Lord Fauntleroy than Fauntleroy did.
He skips out to the baseline and proceeds to hop and skip around the bases with that hula hoop ring in his hand.
It brought down the stadium.
It didn't stop until he returned to the dugout.
The rest is history.
He was never far from his mentor. ... the wee perfessor.

BUT damn, he does look a little like Dumbo in that card.
