Synopsis[edit]

Itchy and Scratchy play a baseball game together, with Scratchy's head getting turned into a hot dog.

Plot[edit]

Itchy and Scratchy are in the middle of a baseball game. Scratchy is pitching to an orange mouse, but he has the ball attached to an elastic cord that will make it snap back into his mitt. The mouse hits the ball out of the park and it comes back to Scratchy, goes through the mitt, and knocks his head off. When the mouse touches the base, the umpire declares him out, revealing himself to be a cat as well. Meanwhile, Scratchy's head ends up in a hot dog maker. After it gets squeezed out, a mouse goes to eat it. However, Scratchy's headless body grabs the hot dog and puts it back on his neck. Scratchy then goes to continue the game.

Scratchy's eye falls out, and he accidentally grabs it instead of a ball. Itchy is next up to bat, and when Scratchy pitches his eye, Itchy hits it hard. Scratchy goes flying with it and gets stuck on a pole. The pole bounces Scratchy back toward Itchy, who hits Scratchy through the jumbotron, destroying it. As Itchy reaches home base, the umpire once again declares him out, but a piece of the jumbotron falls through him, cutting him in half.
