The premise

Here’s the bit.

Norm Macdonald invites Harry Caray to assess the World Series matchup between Florida and Cleveland. Harry trades baseball analysis for alarming theories about the teams' mascots, insisting that the athletes themselves are beside the point. His fear of mounted marlins gives way to an appalling claim about collecting scalps, and he turns the interview into a sales pitch complete with a business card and catalogue. Norm tries to steer him back to the game but ends up asking about the merchandise before sending him off.
