The act was twelve minutes long.
This singing quartet is made up of four Red Sox players: Marty McHale, Tom (Buck) O’Brien, Hugh Bradley, and Bill Lyons.
The men open the act by singing solo and then come together. They finish with some old “rags” and then each dances a Turkey Trot.
They appeared in their baseball uniforms which were dirty from the diamond.
The quartet registered a "substantial hit" despite being obviously more popular and well-known in New England than in New York.
"The base singer has enough comedy in him to get laughs without trying."
"The turn made good on its merits and can easily pass anywhere."
