Wojo as the Babe! Whoodathunkit? Actually, I'll bet it was great! Did a little sleuthing on the Net and learned that it was a one-man show on Broadway and shown on PBS. Then the trail ran cold. I saw the Durning show a long time ago and, while you'd think the portly actor was all wrong to portray ol' Casey, about one minute into the show it didn't matter. "Compelling" would be a good way to describe this show, too. Always liked his comment about Ryne Duren: "He could throw a lambchop past a wolf." So now, in addition to Durning's Stengel, anybody got Wojo's Ruth they can offer me?
