synopsis
Dave Richards (Fred Dryer), an old baseball buddy of Sam Malone's (Ted Danson), is now a local TV newscaster. When Dave asks Sam for an interview, Sam suddenly realizes how much he misses being a sports celebrity. When the interview falls through, however, it looks like Diane (Shelley Long) may have to rescue Sam from crawling back into a bottle. Harry Anderson makes his first series appearance as baby-faced scam artist Harry the Hat.
