The inning itself took more than an hour as the Tarpons crush Daytona, 18-2.

In 1980, How do you mess with NBCʹs censors one final time? On their last “Saturday Night Live” together, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Bill Murray, Laraine Newman, and Gilda Radner do it with the “Lord and Lady Douchebag” sketch, with twelve “sanitized” references.
