- Bill?

- Yeah?

Uh, couldn't you take a break

and teach him now?

- Mom, it's okay, really.

- Honey,

I said I would, and I will,

but I'm under the gun here.

How long could it take?

Can't you spare half an hour

and show him now?

- Mom, really, it's okay.

- All right.

Okay. I'll get my glove.

See? I told you.

Oh, great.

All right, Scotty, get down

to that end of the yard.

Okay.

Now, the key to this game

is keeping your eye on the ball.

No matter whether you're in the field

or at bat, eye on the ball, okay?

All right. Uh, yeah.

I think so.

Where the ball goes,

your glove should go. Got it?

Okay.

Okay. All right.

[Grunts]

Darn. Sorry.

It's all right.

All right.

Um... Uh, here.

Okay.

Okay, I'm ready.

Eye on the ball, okay?

Got it?

Okay.

If the ball moves,

move your glove. Got it?

Yeah.

All right. Here we go.

Okay. You just need a bigger glove.

Throw it back to me this time.

Throw it back.

Okay. Scotty,

keep your eye on the ball.

Okay. Got it.

Okay.

Ow! Oh, my eye!

Ow! Ow! Oh!

Ow! Ow!

- What happened?

- [Groans] My eye.

- Honey, get some ice. Ice.

- No, I got it.

- Here you go.

- Those were for dinner.

- Oh!

- Just hold it up there.

Nice and hard.

Press it against... Yeah.

- I just took my eye off the ball, Mom.

- Yeah, but you caught it.

- [Groaning]

- Just keep that on for, like, an hour.

It'll still be black,

but it won't swell.

Sorry.

Gotta watch out

for that curve.

[Crying]

Hey.

I'm gonna play some ball.

We need an extra guy. You wanna go?

- No. Thanks.

- Why not? Don't you like baseball?

- Oh, yeah, but...

- But what?

But my glove...

it's busted.

Uh, see? Now I can't go.

Thanks, though.

It's okay.

I got an extra one.

Come on. Let's go.

Mom, I'm gonna go

play some ball!

I'll be back

in a little while.

Come on. Let's go.

- And I'm Babe Ruth.

- [Boys Chattering]

Listen. Ready?

Check this out.

[Muffled]

I'm the Great Bambino.

[Boys]

What?

- I'm the Great Bambino.

- [All] What?

I'm the Great Bambino.

[All]

Oh!

Who's that?

What?

[Scotty Narrating] I had no idea

who they were talking about.

- What did he say?

- What, were you born in a barn, man?

Yeah, what planet

are you from?

[Scotty Narrating] But there was

no way I could let them know.

You never heard

of the Sultan of Swat?

The Titan of Terror?

- The Colossus of Clout?

- The Colossus of Clout!

- The King of Crash, man.

- [Scotty Narrating] So I lied.

Oh, yeah, the Great Bambino.

Of course.

I thought you said,

"the Great Bambi."

That wimpy deer?

Yeah. I guess. Sorry.

Anyway, Scott, that's

Timmy and Tommy Timmons,

Mike "Squints"Palledorous,

Alan McClellan...

we call him Yeah-Yeah...
