I started listening to Buddy Holly's three-disc Memorial Collection to-day. I'm currently on the first disc. I noticed something interesting in his version of "Brown-Eyed Handsome Man." Right after the lines "Well two-three the count, and nobody on / He hit a high fly into the stand," there's a drum hit that differs from what Jerry Allison (the drummer) had been playing. Apparently, that hit is supposed to represent the bat hitting the ball - the high fly into the stand that the brown-eyed handsome man hits.
I think it's important to note that Buddy Holly also does this in "I'm Looking for Someone to Love." There's a sudden drum hit after "foot slip" in the line "Drunk man, street car, foot slip, there you are."
According to the liner notes, "Brown-Eyed Handsome Man" was recorded sometime between December 1956 and January 1957, and "I'm Looking for Someone to Love" on 25 February 1957, so it seems that after inserting that musical detail into his Chuck Berry cover, Holly incorporated it into one of his own songs.
