This week's baseball on TV episode is from one of the funniest shows in television history.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a show about a guy trapped in space who is forced to watch bad movies. Add in two robots who watch the movie with the guy, two mad scientists who force the movies on the guy and his robots, and too many quips, riffs, and jokes to count and the two hour show is filled with laughter. I could go on for a long time about this show, its history, mythology, characters, and inside jokes. But, I won't.
There are many one-liners in the show that include baseball as a reference point. But, this episode has an opening that hits close to the stadium...with a twist.
This episode has an opening invention exchange in which the Mad Scientists come up with a calendar of evil baseball promotions.
You can get a tast of the show by watching the entire clip below. Or, just get to the 2:53 point for promotions like Slide Whistle and Brass Knuckle Night and Dow Corning Fiberglass Insulation Night.
