Charlie Brown's All-Stars

Episode Summary

A children's baseball team isn't very good and everyone quits. A local businessman offers to sponsor the team regardless, as long as half of the team is fired. The team's manager doesn't take the sponsorship, they lose another game, the team makes a bad shirt for him, and he stands in the rain. Also a dog surfs.
