Quiz
Popeye grows his own spinach in this short, one of a few times he's show doing so.

Blooper
In the "last inning", Popeye pitches to Bluto, and Bluto hits the ball so hard that it knocks out all of the infield, outfield, and then Popeye (the pitcher). Bluto just stands at home laughing, but never runs. He either needs to run to first to be safe, or Popeye needs to throw the ball to first to make him out. But unless one of these two things happens, the game cannot proceed. Yet Bluto takes more pitches, and that is something cannot happen.

Citazioni
Bluto: Oh, boy! He dropped his spinach - what a break for me... I'll put a lot of nice weeds in there; he'll think it's his spinach!

Baseball Games Are Always Insane In Cartoons

If you know anything about baseball, all you can do is shake your head and laugh (or groan) and the craziness of the game shown in cartoons. Whether it's Popeye, Goofy or some other cartoon figure, you know you are going to see insane antics on the diamond.

Much of the time you see the same things: pitchers who delivers fast balls and curves like you've never seen; catches in the outfield in which the outfield pushes back the entire section of the stands and then catches the ball; and other one-man feats that only Superman could perform. Mostly, you see things that are totally ludicrous, such as Popeye in this cartoon coming to bat 21 times in a space of 10 seconds! All can you is just enjoy the lunacy and laugh.

The big baseball game features "Popeye's Pirates" versus "Bluto's Bears." Each has a special box seat for their best fan. For Popeye, it's Olive Oyl and for Bluto some big heavyset woman. They are right next to each other so you know some fireworks will take place between those two, not just Popeye and Bluto.

What set this Popeye cartoon apart from others is that Popeye's can of spinach drops out of his pocket right before the game and Bluto downs the green stuff, replacing the empty can with weeds. This produces problems for Popeye, as you can imagine.

Overall, more funny stuff and a cartoon that just flew by because it was so entertaining. (Hey, I'm a baseball fan.)
