Sandbar is excited because he just won six tickets to the Buckball World Series in Fillydelphia. After informing his friends of this great news, he proceeds to talk about the Fillydelphia Fillies, which includes telling them the names of the players.
That's when things get complicated.
Based on Abbott & Costello's Who's On First? comedy routine

This skit is a classic. At least they finally got it in the end.
Also "Who's on first base" this is not original at all. Nice try tho.

Author literally wrote it was based on that in the description, I don't think they were trying to claim they invented the joke
It's been done before, but you did it pretty well. :)
Have a Like.
I LOVE Who's On First and I love the way you reworked it to fit a Buckball team. Bravo!

I didn't mean to offend, I just see that the script is pretty much a copy and paste. It's like coming up with a recipe only for someone else to use the exact same steps and ingredients just with different frosting. If that makes any sense. (Also, I'm not saying the joke is mine throught the analogy).

Oopse, sorry for the miss reply, the was supposed to be for NeonPony.
9465465
Ok take it lime this: you make a recipe and another dude later uses the same exact recipe, just with different frosting. (I'm not claiming the joke is mine through the analogy) It looks different, but tastes the same.

I don't think it's possible to do a "Who's on First" joke with out copying most of it, it just doesn't work if you don't.
The moral of the story is "Thank goodness for newspapers!".
What I especially enjoyed about this take on a classic routine was how, while everycreature else was going through various pronouns, days, and whatnot...
Sandbar was quietly and simply repeating Pony names.
You got a like from me, brutha.
I believe the insanity that is ponish naming convention somehow made this even better. Very well done.
Truly, one of the greatest bits of classic comedy.
They satirised this sketch in the episode 'Tanks for the Memories'.
Whenever I see this skit (or any parody of it), I always think that team picked those names deliberately so it'd mess with people like this.
Ah yes, "Who's On First". One of the greatest comedy sketches ever. It may have been parodied more naturally in "Tanks for the Memories", but this was pretty good. Have a like.
This.
This I like.
How come I didn't think of this before? Nice job adopting this to MLP!

I agree. Bud and Lou might not have invented the "baseball routine", as it was called on Vaudville for a while, but without a doubt those two perfected it.
THIRD BASE!
Wasn't that Hoo?
So I pick up the ball and I throw it to Naturally?
9523621
Yea... Hoo's on offense, Watt's on Defense, not the other way around...
One line you may want to reword slightly so as not to add to the confusion:
"Do you know who the coach is?"
Who is NOT the coach, as everyone is quite aware of by now. I might suggest:
"Do you know the name of the coach?"
As soon as I saw the title I knew what this was.
Nearly a century later and this bit is still funny, even in written form.
9465511
! Hilarity ensues 
!
Nay, it is possible to do it in another way, one just has to grasp the concept. For example, I came up with "What else?", where "else" becomes something, so, when one guy asks "what else?" as is custom to understand, the other guy thinks the first one meant to ask "what of the multiple things, each called "else", do you mean?", and answers along the lines: "I mentioned no "else"!". And the first guy proceeds to correcting the second guy's grammar ("You don't say "no else", rather "nothing else!) -- and here you go
9465979
Oh yeah! "Open clear sky!"
9526556
!
No, you DON'T! You throw it to Who
Ah!.. When I noticed what it was based off of, I chuckled despite even not having begun to read it! By the end of it it had done more, than made me laugh... it had gotten liked by me
!..
9556913
Naturally.
9557023
There! Now you've got it?
9556903
"Where'd our fluffy clouds go?"
9557742
. Uh-h-h... where indeed?..
Oops, can't remember, quite how it went
I should look it up
.
9557742
Oh, wait! There he is! And, judging by Open Sky's clouded features... [sunglasses are being put on] ...he'll storm out. And I won't need the glasses any more! (YEAH-H-H!!!)
9559221
"Fluffy Clouds? He's over there!"
9559525
Yes, thank you, I did look it up, but thought, it wasn't as funny.
9559759
True.
9559999
?
Wait, does that mean, my version was funnier
9561980
Yup.
9563277
!

9563350
Stunned?
9563716
! Much like in Pinkie's case, making someone
Me? Delighted! Squeeing even
smilelaugh "fills my heart with sunshine all the while" and "fills me with glee"! Because that's what Pinkie does to me! And besides, what's better, than a good, laughter-inducing comedy, right?9563805
Especially in our dark and depressing times...
9564992
Now, what's up with the moping? Pinkie had better come and cheer you up, right, Pinkie?
Really, staying positive is the key, and those, who never despair and stay determined, can overcome anything oppressive
! Those, however, who give in to depression and "blame" the world for their feeling in dumps, will never be pleased with whatever cheering there is 
.
9565966
Always stay positive!
One of my favorite comedy bits of all time, and while the writing was essentially done for you, I’d say you executed the conversation in their voices very well. Just as humorous in this form as the original.
9465809
REALLY good Abbott and Costello homage. I especially liked the epilogue. :-D
Got referred here after someone posted it in a blog. Great job! Only problem is something others have already pointed out:
Unicorn!
Lol I get the reference even though I'm not a big fan of Abbott & Costello I'm more of the three stooges but hey thats funny
