This episode basically has the exact same plot as the previous episode but with baseball instead of American football.
That said, the jokes are better than in the previous episode and the subject matter is the less dumb one of the two US exclusive sports.
Apparently, the episode ties into real-world events that were ongoing at the time it was produced, so all in all it seems to have more of an excuse for existing than the episode that precedes it. I just find it baffling that they put these two very similar episodes back to back instead of spacing them out more. Then again, unlike contemporary legendary sitcoms like Seinfeld and The Simpsons, Married... with Children was often very sloppily put together in regards to writing and production, the show lived and died entirely by its side-splitting jokes.
