What happens

Gone Batty is a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes animated cartoon short directed by Robert McKimson, released on September 4, 1954. The title (which means to go insane) is a direct allusion to the basic plot premise. This is the second Looney Tunes short to use baseball as its main theme following Baseball Bugs.
