Line 19:
* Episode 4 of ''[[Angel Beats (Anime)|Angel Beats]]''.
* ''[[FLCL]]'' episode 4 "Full Swing".
* ''[[Sonic X]]''. Sonic and crew vs. [[Go -Karting With Bowser|Eggman's robot team]] with a [[Plot Coupon|Chaos Emerald]] at stake. To be fair, Knuckles ''did'' tell them it was a dumb idea...
* ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' did several baseball episodes...basically whenever Tobimaro showed up.
* ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'' did one too, with the manager from Cha Cha Maru (a local bar) organizing a game against local store owners.
Line 107:
* An episode of ''Galactica 1980'' has a baseball game central to its plot.
* ''[[Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman (TV)|Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman]]'': "Traveling All-Stars."
* An episode of ''[[DadsDad's Army (TV)|Dads Army]]'' had the Home Guard playing a [[Cricket]] match against the ARP wardens (guest starring Fred Trueman!) {{spoiler|The Home Guard win when Godfrey, of all people, hits a six}}.
* ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]''. In "The Diary", the geeks' plot centres around playing baseball in gym class.
* ''[[Bones]]'' didn't have an actual baseball episode, but "The Rocker in the Rinse Cycle" features Arastoo Vaziri using baseball metaphors incessantly in anticipation of the baseball season starting. The other characters end up telling him to shut up.
Line 114:
{{quote| '''Betty:''' ''"No! You can't jump on people!"''}}
* ''[[Little House On the Prairie (TV)|Little House On the Prairie]]'' had an episode, "In the Big Inning", which has the residents of Plum Creek play a game against a team from Sleepy Eye. In typical Little House fashion, the opposing team is full of cheats and bad sports.
* British example: ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' had a cricket episode, in "Black Orchid"
* ''[[Just Shoot Me]]'': Maya, who played softball in college, joins the Blush softball team after it's revealed that she has a hell of a pitching arm. She gets too competitive, however, just as she did in college, and the others try to get her to quit.
* ''[[Man V Food]]'' has Adam Richman touring three minor league parks showing the food they serve. One park's challenge involves Adam having to finish a giant burger in between the seventh-inning stretch and the game's final out, which meant that he didn't know how long he had to finish since each game's outcome varies. But he did managed to finish it off only because the final batter fouled off an 0-2 pitch.
* ''[[Babylon 5 (TV)|Babylon 5]]'' doesn't have a whole episode, but there are a few scenes where Sheridan and Garibaldi are discussing station issues while facing a pitching machine with a digital umpire.
* ''[[Corner Gas (TV)|Corner Gas]]'' has an episode with a slow-pitch softball game.
* [[Greys Anatomy]] invented an annual hospital-vs-press softball tradition just to have a softball episode. No one even pretends the doctors have the slightest chance of winning; the entire on-field action consists of acting out of thinly-veiled personal issues.
