Plot

It's not so easy managing a baseball team... especially when your team has lost 999 games in a row. But when Charlie Brown finds an opportunity to trade his worst player, Lucy, he thinks his fortunes might finally change for the better—and for a while, with Lucy gone, they do as his team goes on a winning streak.

Unfortunately, Lucy's replacement, Marcie, who is traded from Peppermint Patty's team, always ends up on the pitcher's mound with Charlie Brown. Meanwhile, Lucy, over on Peppermint Patty's squad, gets into her usual fuss-budget business by failing Peppermint Patty at every game the team plays by doing something stupid. When Peppermint Patty re-trades Lucy to get Marcie back, Charlie Brown's team begins to return to its losing ways. Charlie pleaded Lucy to catch the ball but Lucy was under the umbrella thinking that it was going to rain, which it does. Towards the end, when everybody left to go back home, Charlie Brown shouted to everyone that it was just a little rain, but nobody would listen. Charlie Brown said nothing and was all alone as the credits rolled and, without another word, left the field and went home when the credits ended.
