In 1963, “Mister Ed” With the Los Angeles Dodgers in a slump, manager Leo Durocher gets a helpful dugout phone call from architect “Wilbur Post,” but in fact heʹs getting advice straight from the horseʹs mouth. Mister Edʹs tip works: The Dodgers win. Before you know it, Wilbur (Alan Young) and Mister Ed are at Dodger Stadium, where the golden palomino takes batting practice. Stepping to the plate against Sandy Koufax, Ed hits one to the outfield wall and gallops around the bases. When Johnny Roseboro sees the hard-charging charger round third and head for home, the Dodgersʹ catcher immediately climbs the backstop to avoid him. This could be an inside-the-park homer.
