Baseball's Oddballs in Farrel and Owens Act on Astros
Houston pitchers Dick Farrell and Jim Owens are famed for their offbeat shows off the field. The duo, stars of the Farrell Owens act, kept teams amused with stunts in pubs and ballparks since the early 1960s. Farrell recalls a nine foot boa and a couch stunt that left visitors fleeing. Their antics helped liven Astros home bookings, though teams sometimes clashed with management. The pair admit to throwing spitballs, joking it’s illegal like marijuana. They vow to grow up but still entertain. Next: Ken Harelson.
