What happens

The Baseball Bunch is an American educational children's television series that originally aired in broadcast syndication from August 23, 1980, through the fall of 1985. Produced by Major League Baseball Productions, the series is a 30-minute baseball-themed program that aired on Saturday mornings featuring a combination of comedy sketches and Major League guest-stars, intended to provide instructional tips to Little League aged children. Throughout its five-season run, the series starred Johnny Bench, Tommy Lasorda and the San Diego Chicken alongside a group of eight children (boys and girls ranging in age from 8–14) as "The Bunch".
