Baseball Blues

Summary
It's Grebelings season and George can't wait to play! After all, no one knows more about baseball than George. But when he realizes knowledge of sinkers doesn't guarantee success in the field, will he throw in the towel?

Plot
The episode begins with George explaining the cancelled World Series in 1994 when Francine experienced batting difficulties, so George taught her. Then they practiced, but George wasn't doing very good. He felt like a failure. So George's dad made him a bat. The game went well for the Grebelings, but not for George. So he chose to quit the team, but when Francine is sick, he plans to go. The game was a success and the Grebelings won. George then became the new announcer.
