Baseball Episode: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

So you're watching your favorite show. It might be romance, or supernatural, or anything at all. The characters are not shown to participate in sports, and it doesn't really matter in context. Then, the next episode comes up and... wait a minute, why are they playing baseball?

* Way back when Marvel's Avengers were only split up between East Coast and West Coast, the two teams would meet up for an annual game of baseball. One of these games was interrupted by a cosmic being called the Grandmaster (who, as it happens, is obsessed with sports and games), but that's a long story.

* And ''way way'' back in the earliest years of the [[Fantastic Four]], the issue after the storyline of the very first introduction of the Black Panther, it opens with them playing baseball. [[Hilarity Ensues]], due to the fact that the Thing is the pitcher.

* Not to mention the annual softball game between [[Marvel Comics]] and [[DC Comics]] staffers.

* The Young All-Stars played against the All Star Squadron for charity.
