Fuzzy Baseball 4: Di-NO Hitters
The Fernwood Valley Fuzzies are about to face a team of Dinosaurs, the Triassic Park Titans, in a match for the ages. Hammy Sosa thinks the Titans haven't evolved with the changes in the game, but Blossom Honey Possum and Bo Grizzley respect their "old school" approach to the game. The story is interrupted periodically by Professor Rufus DeTerrier, who objects to the many scientific inaccuracies (can a T-Rex even hold a ball with those tiny two fingers? and where are the feathers?).
The blast-from-the-past team is sure to deliver plenty of curveballs.
