Episode #152: Baseball in Disney 11/09/2025

Episode #152: Baseball in Disney In 1942, Disney released a cartoon short called “How to Play Baseball,” in which Goofy taught us all the nuances of this classic sport. OK, perhaps it might not be the best idea to take our baseball lessons from someone once called Dippy Dawg, but it does represent Disney’s long association with America’s Pastime. So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the world of baseball, Disney style! /episode/index/show/celebrationspress/id/38967320
