Entertaining look at the game of baseball, Goofy variation
6 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This is a Goofy "How To" short produced by Disney. There will be spoilers ahead:

This is a typical Goofy short. There's a short setup segment covering the equipment, playing field and the basics of baseball and giving the animators an opportunity to do a few visual gags with Goofy in the standard Baseball getup, including a nice bit with the shoes. They show various pitches and take the playing rituals to absurd extremes.

The second half of the cartoon is the deciding game of the World Series, Disney style. More accurately, it's the last half of the last inning of the deciding game of the World Series. Goofy is the pitcher, with a three run lead and two outs. All he needs is to get one out and his team wins. Naturally, he manages to blow the lead.

Every player looks like Goofy, so it's Goofy batting, pitching, fielding and so on. The gags are visuals which play on the narration and are mostly puns. The ending is a rather predictable though funny ending.

This short is on the Disney Treasures Complete Goofy DVD set and is well worth having. Recommended.
