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 was a 30-minute baseball-themed program airing on Saturday mornings, which featured a combination of comedy sketches and Major League guest-stars, intended to provide instructional tips to Little League aged children.[1]
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".
