synopsis
Sam (Ted Danson) balks when his old baseball rival Dutch Kincaid (Michael Fairman) challenges him to one last round on the mound. Since Dutch was the one man Sam could never strike out, the emotional stakes are mighty high -- too high to resist, as it turns out. Back at Cheers, a dalmation who follows Cliff (John Ratzenberger) home becomes the bar's mascot.
