Notice how for the whole season nobody cared to prepare a plate with the name of the Bears team properly painted on it. Even in the final game their name was still simply written on a scoreboard using chalk (and that was a rather clumsy handwriting).
shareThey wouldn't have won anything if the other teams weren't stupid. All they had was 1 good hitter and 1 good pitcher. All they would have to do is intentionally walk Kelly every time and the Bears wouldn't score.
shareBecause it's only in bad Hallmark Channel movies that the underdogs achieve success and everyone suddenly loves them. In real life, everyone still looks down on them (see also the ending of Welcome to the Dollhouse).
I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!
