Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Leo Durocher, longtime manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, appears as himself in this episode, which also features a guest cameo by sports legend Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch. Playing baseball with son Eddie (Butch Patrick), Herman (Fred Gwynne) knocks out a home run that travels seven blocks before knocking Durocher cold. Upon recovering consciousness, Leo decides to sign Herman for the Dodgers--but after a chaotic tryout session, he begins to reconsider shipping Herman off to Vietnam instead (No kidding. Vietnam is actually used as a punchline in this 1965 episode)!
