Now Warming Up

“Uh, oh, it looks like they’re going to warm up the new pitcher,” says narrator John Wald in Tex Avery’s Batty Baseball.



And they do. Scott Bradley plays “Running Wild” in the background.



Avery and his gag writer(s) kept this scene short. There’s no wolfie-like reaction (Red Hot Riding Hood) from the pitcher, which would have made it funnier. Ed Love, Preston Blair and Ray Abrams are the credited animators.

    There's no “Wolfie”-like reaction needed; he's automatically getting what the wolf's reactions are longing for (but never gets).

    His expression says it all. There are a few friends I had who played ball for school teams. They could have used this!!
