==Honors and awards== Abbott and Costello are among the few non-baseball personnel to be memorialized in the [[Baseball Hall of Fame]], although they are not inductees of the Hall itself. A plaque and a gold record of the "Who's On First?" sketch have been on permanent display there since 1956, and the routine has run on an endless video loop in the exhibit area since 1967.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Francis |first1=Bill |title=Who's On First Joined the Hall 60 Years Ago |url=https://baseballhall.org/discover/short-stops/whos-on-first |website=National Baseball Hall of Fame |date=June 2, 2016 |access-date=April 1, 2025}}</ref> Abbott and Costello each have three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for their work in radio, television and motion pictures. In 1942, they were voted the country's No. 1 Box Office Stars by exhibitors. They ranked among the Top Ten in 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1951. Abbott received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Acting (posthumously) from the Garden State Film Festival in 2006; it was accepted on his behalf by his daughter Vickie Abbott Wheeler.<ref name="Film_Festival">{{cite web |title=4th Annual Garden State Film Festival, March 31 β April 2, 2006 |url=https://www.gsff.org/archives/|website=Garden State Film Festival |format=4th Annual Winners β 2006}}</ref> Abbott is a 2009 inductee of the [[New Jersey Hall of Fame]].<ref name="NJ_Star_Ledger">{{cite news |url=http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/02/bon_jovi_shaq_abbott_and_coste.html|title=Bon Jovi, Shaq, Abbott and Costello make N.J.
