Remembering Late Night with Buck Showalter

With the much-anticipated final installment of the Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday night, video resurfaced of then-Yankees manager Buck Showalter showing Letterman and one of his staff members the ropes at Yankee Stadium.

It's a funny bit that also includes long-time major league player and coach Frank Howard teaching Letterman how to take one for the team by peppering him with batting practice pitches. You can see it here.

The video was from May of 1992, but Showalter made his first appearance on Letterman during the spring of that year, doing a phone interview in which Letterman tried to steer him to say some of baseball's most common cliches.
