Production notes
Though released as a Looney Tune, the production number indicates this was originally a Merrie Melody.
Look for Virgil Ross' name on the bleachers.
The second Looney Tunes cartoon with Bugs Bunny in the Looney Tunes drum end titles.

fun cartoon but,...
The rules state that if a glove is thrown at a Home Run ball to catch it, a ground rule triple applies. However, since the batter was present on top of the Umpire State building when Bugs caught it, he has left the base path and is therefore OUT!
Baseball Bugs
Great Bugs Bunny stuff. Outnumbered, outsized and outstrengthed but never outwitted and there fore unmatched..Bugs Bunny takes on 9 bullies and shows them what's up, doc.
Baseball Bugs
This one is right up there with "Bully for Bugs" as one of the most perfect Bugs Bunny cartoons ever. Bugs and his adversaries have great chemistry.
Baseball Bugs
The last scene in which Bugs catches the fly ball on top of the Umpire State Building & the umpire calles him out. In real life that would have been ruled a triple. Also, the Gashouse Gorrilas are the visiting team at the beginning of the cartoon, & since when does the visitor bat in the bottom of the ninth? Obviously I'm more of a baseball fan then the writers were.
