So you're watching your favorite show. It might be romance, or supernatural, or anything at all. The characters are not shown to participate in sports, and it doesn't really matter in context. Then, the next episode comes up and... Wait a minute, why are they playing baseball? Enter the Baseball Episode, in which – for some reason – the heroes participate in a baseball game. This might be in order to save the world, save the town, or just waste time. Whatever the reason, it's common, and shows up in all kinds of works... ...at least works coming from North America, Japan, and parts of Latin America. Most other countries don't even care about this "baseball" thing. (The standard British or Australian equivalent would be a cricket or rugby episode, while in Canada you might get a hockey episode. Or maybe the characters will play American football, soccer, or basketball instead.) For some reason, this happens a lot in Speculative Fiction. Also can apply to softball, an equivalent sport played with a larger ball on a smaller playfield. |

Wonder Woman (1942): The WACs assigned to the USAAF intelligence office in Washington DC play a game against their male co-workers. The game gets derailed by an argument when Diana forgets to hold back her strength and obliterates a ball, with Steve quickly saying the ball was probably rotted through and flirtingly asking her if she fancies herself a Wonder Woman once the other men are too distracted by trying to figure out if its a foul ball. | |

X-Men: The X-Men have a long history of this (perhaps unsurprising given that the school is in New York). An X-Men baseball game will always start with the rule "no powers". And it will always be broken. They also played basketball once with similar results. And football (resulting in Xavier being tackled out of his wheelchair). | |

Kids Praise: The eighth album is a pretty typical cliche baseball plot from The '80s, where a couple of the Kid's Praise kids fail to make a team, so Psalty encourage them to create their own team called "The Psalters". They lose so spectacularly in their first game, it's hard to believe, but win by a single run in a rematch for reasons that aren't really explained. | |

The Live Powerful Pro Baseball Power Pro-Pocket series manages to invert this trope. They're baseball games with dating sim stories for building characters, but most of them come with a hidden mode that's a fantasy or sci-fi themed RPG that has nothing to do with the sport except for a customizable puppet that becomes your prize character for clearing the story. The only exceptions were Happiness Island in 6, which was a standard baseball scenario; and Takeshima in 14, which featured the sport as a table-top card game. | |

This also happened in an issue of Young Justice, which played out very much like the Samurai Champloo episode, only here, the invaders were aliens. The justification, such as it was, was that the aliens had once been led by Doiby Dickles, so their culture was largely based on 1930s New York City. Apparently they had decided that baseball was a convenient form of Trial by Combat and began to use it as their own. The whole thing was so ridiculous that it prompted one character to express in frustration "That's it, I'm joining the [Teen] Titans." | |

Wonder Woman: Back in the Golden Age of Comics Steve Trevor once stopped to play baseball with some kids while delivering an important, but not time sensitive, message. When he arrives the message seems to have been swapped out and he's accused of being a fool and getting it stolen while playing a game, but he and Wonder Woman uncover the truth: he'd never been given the real message in the first place as the man who was meant to hand it to him had been killed and replaced with a near identical relative who'd been bribed into becoming a Nazi saboteur. Wonder Woman (1942): The WACs assigned to the USAAF intelligence office in Washington DC play a game against their male co-workers. The game gets derailed by an argument when Diana forgets to hold back her strength and obliterates a ball, with Steve quickly saying the ball was probably rotted through and flirtingly asking her if she fancies herself a Wonder Woman once the other men are too distracted by trying to figure out if its a foul ball. |

Calvin and Hobbes had an early arc featuring Calvin's ill-fated attempt at joining his school's baseball team. In other strips, he and Hobbes play baseball against each other, but those inevitably result in either a Big Ball of Violence between the two or the game turning into Calvinball. Or both. | |

Rusty and Co. level 8 is titled "Wait... is he seriously doing a baseball episode?" Sure enough, Robespierre, Mimic, Stabs and her brothers are getting roped into such a game in the arena, to the horror of the Halflings (who were expecting good old Gladiator Games instead). The variation of baseball used is extraordinarily deadly, however, enough so that high level clerics are kept on hand to resurrect the dead. |

Mega Man 10 invokes this with Strike Man's stage. Of course, Mega Man (or whoever you're playing as) doesn't deviate from what he usually does, and there are just general sports references, but baseball is the strongest theme (even the Robot Master himself looks like a baseball). | |

Peanuts had plenty of strips revolving around Charlie Brown's poor excuse for a Little League team. His team always lost, and every character treated this as a foregone conclusion except Charlie Brown himself, who would always hold out hope for a win only to inevitably suffer yet another disappointment. Baseball was also the main topic for a few of the animated specials, including Charlie Brown's All-Stars, It's Spring Training, Charlie Brown, and Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown among others. | |

The Incredible Hulk: The Hulk, while incognito, got a gig playing outfield for a minor league team. The gig ended when he had a fight with the Rhino, who was playing catcher for a rival minor league team. Foul-tempered, mutated superbehemoths playing baseball? Shocking. | |

The Avengers: Way back when the Avengers were only split up between East Coast and West Coast, the two teams would meet up for an annual game of baseball. One of these games was interrupted by a cosmic being called the Grandmaster (who, as it happens, is obsessed with sports and games), but that's a long story. | |

The Bolt Chronicles: "The Baseball Game" is a classic Single-A World Series Big Game story, with Bolt pressed into playing duty while serving as honorary team Mascot. He scores the winning run as a pinch runner for an injured player, and later clinches victory when he pulls off a triple play manning second base despite lacking a glove and the ability to throw a baseball properly. | |
