Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Andy is elected to umpire that championship Little League game between Mayberry and Mount Pilot. Exercising fine impartiality, Andy calls his own son Opie out, then promptly gets it in the neck from everyone in town. Ultimately, Andy is redeemed by Howard Sprague's newspaper sports column, but camera-bug Helen discovers the story isn't quite over yet. This episode was cowritten by Sid Morse and Rance Howard, the father of series regular Ronny Howard. "The Ball Game" first aired on October 3, 1966.
