Peter Robbins, Christopher Shea
A new baseball season is starting, and Charlie Brown is the only person on his team that is willing to take a positive attitude to the game. However, in the end, Charlie ends up dropping a flyball, and the team loses, 120-0. After the game, the entire team (including Snoopy) turn in their baseball caps, refusing to play further.The next day, Charlie Brown is surprised when Linus tells him that Mr Henessey who owns a local hardware store, would like to sponsor their team, and provide them with uniforms.Charlie attempts to get the rest of the team excited about this prospect, but several are not sure why "anyone would want to waste uniforms" on their team. However, Charlie persists, with Lucy telling him they'll rejoin his team if they get the uniforms.Shortly thereafter, Charlie receives a call from Mr Henessey, but finds out that the league the team would play in, will not accept the girls or Snoopy on their team. Refusing to give in to this stipulation, Charlie turns down the offer. At first dejected, Charlie then hatches a plan: if they can win their next game, it'll most likely make the others forget about needing/wanting the team uniforms.The next game, with the team playing better at the thought of having new uniforms, it looks like they may finally win. However, Charlie ends up being the teams only hope to score a win, when he gets a hit, and starts rounding the bases. However, in his attempts to steal home base, he slides too far, and loses the game for the team.At first the team is angry, but their attitude grows even moreso when Charlie tells them that he refused Mr Henessey's uniform offer.The team angrily storms off, but it is only afterwards that Linus explains to them, that Charlie Brown turned down the offer when he was told he would need to get rid of Snoopy and the girls.Needless to say, the team feels guilty and decides to make it up to Charlie Brown. Using Linus' blanket, they make him a uniform that reads "our manager". Although it's ill-fitted, Charlie Brown is touched, and vows that tomorrow's game will go much better.Unfortunately, it rains all the next day, and everyone stays inside. Everyone, that is, except Charlie Brown, standing in the pitcher's mound waiting for the others to show. The only one to come is Linus, and that's only because he needs his blanket. Charlie Brown lets him hold on to one sleeve as the two of them stand in the rain.
