Crosby bought a stake in the Pittsburgh Pirates and Hope had a small interest in the Cleveland Indians, so that played right into their comedy routines. As the comic member of the team, Hope was more often the butt of the jokes, so if Old Ski Nose were still alive, he would be having a blast right now with the Indians' winning streak.

Bob Hope's revenge
Old movie fans will remember the "Road" series of movies made by Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. They were lots of fun and totally without any other merit except for a few very nice songs. Once that series began, Hope and Crosby became one of the biggest cash cows that Paramount had, and the running gag from those movies carried over into their radio and television spots.
