How to Play Baseball
Goofy teaches you all about this all-American pastime.
Directed by Jack Kinney
Produced by Walt Disney Productions
A cheerful, whimsical animated short that celebrates baseball through Goofy's bumbling charm and cartoonish humor.
Goofy shows us the national pastime. After a brief overview, we have a demonstration of the many possible pitches. On to the World Series, where we go through an eventful inning, culminating in a baseball that disintegrates when being hit.
