Classic. Bob Newhart’s bit from 1960 about a conversation between Abraham Lincoln and a then modern day press agent just prior to the Gettysburg Address.
Bonus:

I have this album, “inherited” from my Dad when he wasn’t looking some years back. Even after hundreds of listening hours, I still get tears from laughing so hard. I’ve also used it to teach my kids history, especially the circumstances surrounding the Khrushchev visit.
The baseball bit is in the same league with Bill Cosby’s “Noah.”
There’s also the classic power point version: http://norvig.com/Gettysburg/
