"A rabid New York Yankees baseball fan, Frawley had written into his "I Love
Lucy" contract that he did not have to work during The World Series if the Yankees
were playing. Considering the 1950s New York Yankees were in eight of the 10
series during the decade, this did cause Desilu a few problems and Frawley does
not appear in two "I Love Lucy" episodes due to this clause."
Truth.

Vivian Vance (Ethel) detested William Frawley. He was 22 years older than her.
