Bartholemew William Barclay ("Bat") Masterson was born 166 years ago today in Quebec. Buffalo hunter, Army scout, Indian fighter, gunfighter, sheriff, gambler, sports reporter, newspaper columnist, and close friend to Wyatt Earp, Damon Runyon, and Theodore Roosevelt, his image is best remembered today by Gene Barry, who portrayed Bat Masterson in the self-titled television series on NBC from 1958 to 1961.
The show's theme was sung by Lenny "Bat" Mizz, with music by Cowboy Philly.
Happy birthday, Bat!
