* Sometimes you just

00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:19,387
* Get a feeling

5
00:00:19,453 --> 00:00:22,323

some kind of change

All right, uh, please,
put me down.

32
00:01:51,011 --> 00:01:55,316
Am I to assume from this little
display that my team won?

33
00:01:55,383 --> 00:01:57,685
Mr. Twinkacetti,
you should've been there.

34
00:01:57,751 --> 00:02:01,355
Slugger hit four home runs
and then Jennifer walked

35
00:02:01,422 --> 00:02:03,090
and then Mary Anne
struck out.

36
00:02:03,157 --> 00:02:04,892
Too bad, Mary Anne.
And then...

37
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:06,294
Now, turnip, turnip!

38
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,131
If I wanna hear
the play by play

00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:14,535

Who cares?

41
00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:18,038
Did we beat the spread?

42
00:02:18,105 --> 00:02:20,441
We creamed the Hoot Owls
ten to four.

43

(ALL CHEERING)
Yay!

44
00:02:22,176 --> 00:02:23,477
Oh, by the way,
uh, those uniforms

45
00:02:23,544 --> 00:02:25,646
I paid for to
advertise the store

46
00:02:25,713 --> 00:02:28,549
I noticed some of you got
a little dirt on the logo.

47
00:02:28,616 --> 00:02:30,484
Do it again
and you're off the team.

48
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:36,123
Thank you for the encouragement,
Mr. Twinkacetti. Yeah.

49
00:02:36,190 --> 00:02:37,325
Uh, ye... Yeah,
before you go

50
00:02:37,391 --> 00:02:39,693
I'd just like to say
a few words.

51
00:02:41,028 --> 00:02:43,130
As you know,
if we can beat

52
00:02:43,197 --> 00:02:47,134
the Shop 'N Spend Spartans
next Saturday's game

53
00:02:47,201 --> 00:02:49,270
the championship is ours.

Yay!

55
00:02:50,538 --> 00:02:52,606
And since I'm the manager

56
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:54,608
the champion's trophy
will be mine.

57
00:02:56,744 --> 00:03:00,981
But I will share it
with each
and every one of you...

00:03:01,048 --> 00:03:02,049
In spirit.

59
00:03:02,115 --> 00:03:03,417
Yeah.

60
00:03:03,484 --> 00:03:05,686

66
00:03:16,864 --> 00:03:18,732
I'm surprised Slugger left
right after the game.

67
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:20,468
He usually likes to
get a little pat on the butt

68
00:03:20,534 --> 00:03:22,670
from me after he's
had a great game.

69

wait till next week.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Oh...
Yeah.

72
00:03:31,712 --> 00:03:32,780
Mmm-hmm.

73
00:03:34,114 --> 00:03:35,783
Why didn't he tell me?

74
00:03:35,849 --> 00:03:39,987
Well, maybe he was afraid
that you would do this to him.

75
00:03:42,990 --> 00:03:44,625
And he's got chest hair.

76
00:03:47,995 --> 00:03:49,930
Come to think of it,
so do I.

00:03:55,869 --> 00:03:56,837
(SIGHS)

the championship

00:03:58,872 --> 00:04:00,173
and it's over.

00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,143

are gonna bury us.

Goodbye, trophy!

82
00:04:05,446 --> 00:04:07,915
Without Slugger, we stink.

83
00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:10,651
Cousin, Slugger is just
one person and you always said

84
00:04:10,718 --> 00:04:12,753
"Everybody on
the team is equal."

85
00:04:16,223 --> 00:04:18,792
that I, uh, lied.

86
00:04:20,961 --> 00:04:23,897
But then you just have
to find another good player.

87
00:04:23,964 --> 00:04:27,568
Uh, where?

88
00:04:27,635 --> 00:04:29,537
Maybe you... You find
him right here.

89
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:31,572
Oh sure, what, is he gonna walk
through the door any minute now?

90
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:32,840
Let's take a look.

91
00:04:35,208 --> 00:04:37,911
Oops!
No players today!

92
00:04:37,978 --> 00:04:39,947
Well, I gotta change.

93
00:04:40,013 --> 00:04:41,449
Oh...

94
00:04:43,317 --> 00:04:47,621
Oh, uh, if Mr. Baseball comes
through the door, let me know.

95
00:04:56,263 --> 00:04:57,498
Hello, chief.

96
00:04:58,999 --> 00:05:03,771
My name is Balki but my friends
call me Mr. Baseball.

97
00:05:12,179 --> 00:05:15,015
Uh-huh, uh, so,
so you... You don't think

98
00:05:15,082 --> 00:05:17,585
he'll be out of prison in time
to play the game on Saturday?

99
00:05:18,852 --> 00:05:21,555
Yeah, well, okay.
Uh, thank you.

100
00:05:21,622 --> 00:05:24,324
Cousin, I got you something
for your nervous stomach.

101
00:05:24,392 --> 00:05:26,193
Oh, thanks.

102
00:05:26,259 --> 00:05:27,461
Uh.

103
00:05:32,433 --> 00:05:35,503
So, uh, have you had
any luck replacing Slugger?

104
00:05:36,003 --> 00:05:37,270
No.

105
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:38,772
I'm a loser.

106
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,674
I've always been a loser.

107
00:05:40,741 --> 00:05:43,043
If there was a contest
for losers, I'd be a winner.

108
00:05:46,814 --> 00:05:48,982
Cousin?
Mmm...

109
00:05:49,049 --> 00:05:50,050
I'll play.

110
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:52,753
Play what?

111
00:05:54,321 --> 00:05:55,456
Baseball.

112
00:05:55,523 --> 00:05:57,124
You need a player,
I'll play.

113
00:05:57,190 --> 00:06:00,193
Uh, thank you, Balki,
I appreciate the offer.

114
00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:02,295
But there's no way
you could replace Slugger.

115
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:05,899
Why no?

116
00:06:05,966 --> 00:06:08,736
We need somebody
who can help us win.

117
00:06:08,802 --> 00:06:13,006
But Cousin, at the beginning
of the season

118
00:06:13,073 --> 00:06:15,242
and it don't matter
if we win or lose.

119
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:16,510
I did?

120
00:06:17,411 --> 00:06:22,082
Oh, yeah!

121
00:06:22,149 --> 00:06:25,819
Now we're one game away
from my trophy.

122
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:27,688
Is getting a trophy
so important?

123
00:06:27,755 --> 00:06:29,423
It's more important
than life.

124
00:06:33,794 --> 00:06:35,262
The one who locked
you in the attic

125
00:06:35,328 --> 00:06:36,530
for three days?

126
00:06:37,698 --> 00:06:38,999
No, that was
my brother Danny.

127
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,104
Billy, the one that hold you
down and cut off all your hair.

128
00:06:45,372 --> 00:06:46,640
No, that was
my sister Elaine.

129
00:06:48,375 --> 00:06:50,911
No, little Larry
and Billy Appleton

130
00:06:50,978 --> 00:06:52,580
shared the same room.

131
00:06:52,646 --> 00:06:54,582
We had identical beds

132
00:06:54,648 --> 00:06:58,018
two identical desks,
two identical bookshelves.

133
00:06:58,085 --> 00:07:01,722
Only Billy's bookshelves
were filled with trophies.

134
00:07:01,789 --> 00:07:05,258
Bowling trophies, tennis
trophies, track trophies.

135
00:07:05,325 --> 00:07:07,127
Billy was a born winner.

136
00:07:07,194 --> 00:07:09,129
You know what I had
on my bookshelf?

137
00:07:10,798 --> 00:07:13,934
A wooden replica of
a wheel of cheddar cheese

138
00:07:15,268 --> 00:07:17,204
with a plaque that said,

139
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:21,108
"First Place-Wisconsin
State Fair Cheese Throw."

140
00:07:23,210 --> 00:07:24,912
Wow!

141
00:07:27,414 --> 00:07:29,617
I bet Billy
was pretty jealous!

142
00:07:34,688 --> 00:07:36,089
It was Billy's trophy.

143
00:07:37,257 --> 00:07:39,092
He didn't want it
on his side of the room.

144
00:07:43,497 --> 00:07:44,832
And I... I want
to help you win it!

145
00:07:44,898 --> 00:07:47,134
Ah! Ah!
Please? Please?

146
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,837
Cousin, I know I can
toss the old horsehide

147
00:07:49,903 --> 00:07:53,173
around the horn if you
just tell me what a horn is.

148
00:07:55,242 --> 00:07:57,110
All right, lo... Look,
I'll tell you what.

149
00:07:57,177 --> 00:08:00,180
You can practice with the team
tomorrow and then we'll see

150
00:08:00,247 --> 00:08:01,414
if there's a place for you.

151
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:02,683
I want practice now.

152
00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:04,317
Now, Balki,
you can't practice now.

153
00:08:04,384 --> 00:08:05,553
It's too late
to go to the park.

154
00:08:05,619 --> 00:08:08,121
I want practice now.

155
00:08:08,188 --> 00:08:09,923
I want to play baseball.

156
00:08:13,561 --> 00:08:14,895
(SOBBING)

157
00:08:17,030 --> 00:08:19,499
You're not gonna
let this go, are you?

158
00:08:21,068 --> 00:08:23,704
No, I'm not.
Oh.

159
00:08:25,739 --> 00:08:28,108
All right.
We'll practice now.

160
00:08:28,175 --> 00:08:29,877
Oh, boy!

161
00:08:31,612 --> 00:08:33,013
I'm ready.

162
00:08:34,014 --> 00:08:35,015
Not really.

163
00:08:37,785 --> 00:08:39,887
You're not going to
destroy the living room

164
00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:42,089
so you'll use these
socks for a ball.

165
00:08:42,155 --> 00:08:46,594
Now... What position would
you sort of like to try to play?

166
00:08:47,427 --> 00:08:48,729
Uh...

167
00:08:48,796 --> 00:08:51,464
I want to play...

168
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:53,967
Pitcher because
he's the one

169
00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:55,669
that gets to talk
to the manager the most.

170
00:08:55,736 --> 00:08:57,705
And that's...

171
00:08:57,771 --> 00:08:59,206
That's you.

172
00:09:04,812 --> 00:09:06,814
Al... All right, all right.

173
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,651
Here, you take this,
go over there.

174
00:09:10,718 --> 00:09:17,691
Move the chair
out of the way.

175
00:09:17,758 --> 00:09:19,259
All right, now.

176
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,063
Just try to get it past me.

177
00:09:23,130 --> 00:09:25,799
Don't throw it hard,
or you're gonna break something.

178
00:09:25,866 --> 00:09:29,803
Just nice and easy.
A real fluid motion.

179
00:09:29,870 --> 00:09:32,172
Don't try to throw
a curve or a slider.

180
00:09:32,239 --> 00:09:34,675
You just wanna put it
right over the middle.

181
00:09:34,742 --> 00:09:36,376
All right?
Just toss it in.

182
00:09:36,443 --> 00:09:37,544
Just up...

183
00:09:37,611 --> 00:09:39,079
And over.

184
00:09:39,146 --> 00:09:42,482
Wanna toss it up
and over the plate. Okay?

185
00:09:42,549 --> 00:09:44,752
Just up and over.

186
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:50,590
What are you waiting for?
For you to stop talking.

187
00:09:54,561 --> 00:09:55,896
Okay, I've stopped.

188
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:57,998
Play ball.

189
00:10:19,286 --> 00:10:20,754
Don't be ridi...

190
00:10:20,821 --> 00:10:22,656
(SHOUTING)
Will you just throw the ball!

191
00:10:43,711 --> 00:10:44,912
Strike one.

192
00:10:54,321 --> 00:10:55,889
(DOOR UNLOCKING)

193
00:11:09,937 --> 00:11:12,072
Did I do good
at practice today?

194
00:11:13,373 --> 00:11:16,376
I can safely say
that I have never seen

195
00:11:16,443 --> 00:11:19,346
baseball played the way
you played it today.

196
00:11:21,081 --> 00:11:23,717
And I'll do just as good
against the Spartans.

197
00:11:26,086 --> 00:11:27,988
That's just
what I'm afraid of.

198
00:11:30,991 --> 00:11:32,826
You know what I liked?

199
00:11:32,893 --> 00:11:35,395
Sliding?
I liked sliding.

200
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:43,136
You slid head first
into every base.

201
00:11:43,203 --> 00:11:45,438
When you should've
been playing right field.

202
00:11:47,340 --> 00:11:48,341
It was fun.

203
00:11:49,642 --> 00:11:52,679
Fun does not win trophies.

204
00:11:52,746 --> 00:11:55,515
And you never even took
batting practice.

205
00:11:55,582 --> 00:11:57,417
So... So what position
do I play?

206
00:11:57,484 --> 00:11:58,485
Well...

207
00:11:59,252 --> 00:12:00,921
Balki...

208
00:12:00,988 --> 00:12:02,422
We have to
talk about that.

209
00:12:03,757 --> 00:12:09,329
You... You...

210
00:12:09,396 --> 00:12:12,432
Well, I don't think that you...
It's also very wonderful.

211
00:12:16,203 --> 00:12:19,907
I don't think you should...
You know...

212
00:12:19,973 --> 00:12:23,376
When... When we
were at home on...
On Mypos

213
00:12:23,443 --> 00:12:27,480
we used to hear about the great
American game of baseball.

214
00:12:27,547 --> 00:12:29,983
And, and tomorrow

215
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:32,886
I, Balki Bartokomous...

216
00:12:33,653 --> 00:12:35,255
A lowly sheepherder...

217
00:12:36,623 --> 00:12:39,292
Would be the first
Mypiot in history

218
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:41,895
to put on a baseball
uniform and play

219
00:12:41,962 --> 00:12:44,231
the greatest game
ever invented.

220
00:12:53,907 --> 00:12:56,009
So... What did you
want to tell me?

221
00:13:05,052 --> 00:13:09,556
Balki, I, ah,
I really don't think

222
00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:11,458
that... That...
That... uh...

223
00:13:13,060 --> 00:13:15,896
You should be
up late tonight.

224
00:13:18,165 --> 00:13:19,732
and get a good night's sleep

225
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:23,270
because tomorrow
is a big, big day.

226
00:13:23,336 --> 00:13:24,437
"Big day."

227
00:13:24,504 --> 00:13:30,043
I'm going to write home.
Mmm.

228
00:13:30,110 --> 00:13:47,060
Of course,
I won't be there

Oh, hello, Mr. Twinkacetti.

231
00:13:56,970 --> 00:13:59,639
No, I... I haven't found
a replacement for Slugger yet.

232
00:13:59,706 --> 00:14:00,874
But...

233
00:14:00,941 --> 00:14:02,943
You have?

234
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:06,980
Well, how did you get someone
as good as Duke to...

235
00:14:10,817 --> 00:14:13,153
I'm gonna pay him $50.

236
00:14:13,220 --> 00:14:16,556
No, no, I think
he's worth every penny.

237
00:14:16,623 --> 00:14:17,857
Yeah, all right.

238
00:14:17,925 --> 00:14:19,126
I'll see you tomorrow.

(WATER RUNNING)

240
00:14:22,930 --> 00:14:25,698
Tomorrow, I get my trophy.

Okay, all right.
On the field.

00:14:49,656 --> 00:14:52,859
Let's... Let's practice.
Warm up. Let's go.

246
00:14:52,926 --> 00:14:54,827
Appleton, this is
Duke Lyle.

247
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:56,863
The man who's gonna win
this one for me.

248
00:14:56,930 --> 00:14:58,531
Ah, Duke,
this is the manager.

249
00:14:58,598 --> 00:15:01,101
Don't feel compelled
to pay any attention to him.

250
00:15:03,336 --> 00:15:05,705
You can't imagine what it means
to me to have you with us today.

251
00:15:05,772 --> 00:15:08,341
Who cares?
Where's my 50 bucks?

(LAUGHING)

253
00:15:12,212 --> 00:15:14,147
Yeah, you might wanna
go out and shag a few.

254
00:15:14,214 --> 00:15:17,017
Uh, if you're in the mood.

255
00:15:17,584 --> 00:15:18,685
Yeah, sure.

256
00:15:19,886 --> 00:15:21,588
Hope he's worth 50 bucks.

257
00:15:25,025 --> 00:15:26,859
Balki, where have
you been?

258
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:28,595
Getting this!

259
00:15:33,166 --> 00:15:34,401
Pretty sharp, huh?

260
00:15:35,602 --> 00:15:38,571
Now I look like a real
American baseball player.

261
00:15:38,638 --> 00:15:41,008
It cost a lot of digdas,
but it's worth it.

262
00:15:44,344 --> 00:15:47,647
The game is about to start.
Everybody, over here.

263
00:15:48,515 --> 00:15:49,516
Oh.

264
00:15:51,884 --> 00:15:53,786
All right, now...

265
00:15:53,853 --> 00:15:56,990
I don't have to tell you
how much this game means.

266
00:15:57,890 --> 00:15:59,326
But I will anyway.

267
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:02,262
It means a lot.

268
00:16:02,329 --> 00:16:05,032
Now get out there
and win it!

270
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:08,835
Then for me!

271
00:16:08,901 --> 00:16:10,237
Now go!
Get out there!

00:16:11,604 --> 00:16:13,273

274
00:16:15,342 --> 00:16:17,310
Uh, you won't be
starting the game.

275
00:16:18,111 --> 00:16:19,412
I won't?
No.

276
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:20,480
Why no?

277
00:16:20,547 --> 00:16:21,881
Well, uh...

278
00:16:21,948 --> 00:16:25,052
Baseball is a game of
strategy as well as skill.

279
00:16:25,118 --> 00:16:26,353
And I've given it
a lot of thought

280
00:16:26,419 --> 00:16:27,887
and I've come
to the conclusion

281
00:16:27,954 --> 00:16:30,923
that you're just
too important to the team

282
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:33,060
to be wasted playing
the whole game.

283
00:16:35,095 --> 00:16:37,630
Do you mean,
I'm like a secret weapon?

284
00:16:37,697 --> 00:16:41,068
Right... Right. Right, yes.
Right, exactly.

285
00:16:41,134 --> 00:16:42,602
You are my secret weapon.

286
00:16:42,669 --> 00:16:45,772
And when the time is right,
I'll unload my secret weapon

287
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:48,241
and they won't
know what hit them.

288
00:16:48,308 --> 00:16:52,179
Cousin, you are a genius.
Hmm.

289
00:16:52,245 --> 00:16:54,547
When will be the right time
for you to unload me?

290
00:16:55,815 --> 00:16:58,751
Uh, um, uh, um...

291
00:16:58,818 --> 00:17:00,019
I'll let you know.

292
00:17:01,921 --> 00:17:03,490
All right.
I'll be waiting.

help noticing

that it's the bottom
of the ninth.

305
00:18:00,580 --> 00:18:02,649
When are you going to unload
your secret weapon?

you lose the trophy.

like cheating.

just relax.

I didn't like that one.

Well, you only get three.

Three? Oh, right,
it's four balls.

I get that mixed up.

364

Three strikes
and you're out.

Will you look at that?

I hit it.
I hit it!

Come on, Balki!
That's it.

00:21:47,974 --> 00:21:49,876
Why is he sliding
into every base?

378
00:21:49,942 --> 00:21:51,110
Because he likes to.

379
00:21:51,177 --> 00:21:52,645
You got a problem
with that?

It's a cheap piece of plastic

But I almost let it
ruin our friendship.

I'm sorry, Balki.

You don't have
to apologize.

that a trophy

didn't I?
