The Baseball Bunch
A Saturday morning live action show featuring Johnny bench and The San Diego Chicken? I’m in.
I remember when The Baseball Bunch debuted, as a Cincinnati Reds fan, I was pretty hyped to see Johnny Bench heavily featured every Saturday live on TV.
The show also featured Tommy Lasorda, who I didn’t realize at first I was supposed to dislike because he was the Dodger’s manager, and I was a Reds fan.
I really didn’t have a love of playing baseball until after I saw this show, then for awhile I couldn’t get enough. Then I got hit with a few pitches, and then I had enough. Still hooked on baseball, but from the safety of my recliner watching it on tv.

Awesome show I also lived the bits with “the Wizard” of Oz (Ossie Smith)
I grew up near Cincinnati so we tried our best to dislike Ozzie.
