I must admit that I had never heard this routine, but looked it up after your inquiry.

This Bat Was Made for Slaughter
In one of their lesser-known vaudeville acts, Abbott & Costello did a bit about Slaughter and Bob Feller. It went something like this:

Abbott: "This is the hat Feller wears."

Costello: Which Feller?"

Abbott: "Why, the Feller that pitches for the Cleveland Indians..."

Costello: "Which Feller are you talkin' about!?"

And so on until ...

Abbott: "This bat was made for Slaughter."

Costello: "Haven't you got one that was made for baseball?"

Abbott: "No, when I say Slaughter, I mean Enos Slaughter! Everyone knows Slaughter. Enos Slaughter."

Costello: "Well maybe he knows Slaughter, but I don't!"
