I'm warning you.
Try to break my record
and everyone shall suffer.
[evil laughter]
Huh!
(Shaggy)'Wow! Cookie CompanyInternational Park.'
Ha ha ha. What a great name for a ball field.
Yeah. Cookie.
slurp
I thought it used to be called Potters Stadium.
It was, before Potters Stadium's 100-year-old foundation
gave out and it sunk into the ground.
In fact, Cookie Company International Park
was built right on top of the old stadium.
I can't believe I actually get to meet Louis Santiago.
Yeah, me too, Fred! Ha ha ha.
Uh, like, who is he?
He's only the best long ball hitter in baseball.
Today he's one home run away from breaking
the all-time record.
Grizzly bear.
No, Scooby, that's just Mr. Grizz.
The team mascot.
[growling]
Hey, let go, you mutt.
[crash]
[chuckling] Like usually it takes a lot longer
before we're unmasking people.
Heh heh. Sorry!
Hey, aren't you JT Paige?
I thought you were a pitcher on this team.
Yeah, I was, but then I got cut.
I remember that, didn't you throw
a burrito at someone in the stands?
Not exactly my finest hour.
They told me, the only way I could stay with the club
is if I became the new mascot, Mr. Grizz.
Cool, my name is Fred Jones.
I won the meet Louis Santiago contest.
So, we're here to meet, Louis Santiago.
Yeah, he's right over there.
Well, Louis, it's been a tough couple of weeks for you.
Any thoughts on how to break out of this draft you're in?
Umm, well, Bob, uh, you used to play.
You know what it's like. It's just a little slump.
I'll come out of it, I'm sure.
Excuse me, Louis, I'm Fred Jones, the contest winner.
Well, Fred, I see you brought some friends with you.
Uh-huh, this is Velma, Daphne, and Shaggy.
- And Scooby-Doo. - Nice to meet you all.
So, remember that game against San Jose
where you went 5-8 in extra innings?
And won the game with a walk-up home run?
- Yeah? - That was so cool.
And remember the time that you were down
three runs to Portland in the bottom of the ninth?
'Strike two!'
Strike three!
And that's all for the Grizzlies in the second.
Here you go, Shaggy.
She gave you all that stuff for free, Shaggy?
- Uh-huh! - Why?
Like beats me.
She even said she'd stop by every inning
just to see how I was doing.
[chuckling] That is one dedicated peanut, soft serve
ice cream, pizza girl.
[thunderclap]
Oh, no, it's starting to rain.
Don't worry, Daphne, your hair won't get wet.
'Cookie Company International Park has a retractable roof.'
Actually I was worried about a rain-out.
The Grizzlies would have to make up
the game with a double header.
We're 1 in 17 in those.
And I did just get my hair done.
(male #1 over PA) 'Okay, Grizz fans, Steve Powell here'
'to call the bottom of the second.'
'The first pitch to Louis Santiago'
'is just on the outside corner for a strike.'
I warned you. Now everyone will suffer!
[glass shattering]
[screaming]
[evil laughter]
Huh?
And so he told me that if I tried to break the record
he'll make bad things happen here at the park.
That's why I've been pretending to be in a slump.
Any idea who this baseball boogey-man might be?
Of course, he's the ghost of the all-time
'home run leader, Cab Craig.'
(Shaggy and Scooby) G-g-ghost?
Louis, honey, that was great. Well, not great, great.
But you know what I mean.
We're not only the lead story on sports station
but the evening news too.
This is my publicist Autumn Summerfield.
Hi, there, I'm Fred, and this is Daphn..
Yeah, yeah, wonderful for you.
Look, Louis, we need to move on this
while the story is hot.
No pun intended.
Maybe Louis should rest up before the big game.
Um, what are you doing?
Looking for the name tag that say's Louis' trainer.
And I don't see it, so, buzz off.
Autumn, give it a rest. Daphne's right.
We'll talk about it in the morning.
Don't worry, Louis, you concentrate on baseball
and leave the crime-solving to us.
We're gonna bring that phony phantom to justice.
And the first thing we need to do is
get a closer look at those exploding lights.
[thunder rumbling]
Make sure to stay attached to these safety lines.
It sure is a long way down to the field.
- Take a look at this. - But that doesn't make sense.
A generator that small couldn't run all these lights.
No, but if the lights were already running
it could overload them.
Causing them to explode.
You know what my favorite kind
of food is, Scoobo-buddyo-friendo-pal?
- Unh-unh. - Stadium food.
Uh, burying leftovers for later?
- Uh-huh. - Good idea.
Here, I'll give you a hand.
Hey, I wonder where this goes.
[screaming]
Whoa, like, where are we?
Uh, I don't know.
Remember what Velma said about the old Potters Stadium
sinking into the ground?
Well, I think we're sunk too.
This must be how the baseball spectre gets around.
All these tunnels are right under the new field.
[evil laughter]
[screaming]
Zoinks!
Whoa!
[screaming]
That spooky spectre won't think to look in here.
[evil laughter]
Why do I get the feeling he's not
trying to give us a nice relaxing steam bath?
[evil laughter]
- Help! - Help!
(Shaggy) 'Somebody get us out of here.'
It's Shaggy and Scooby.
Oh, no, it's jammed.
Stand back.
[giggling]
Like thanks, one more minute
and we would've been a couple of slow roasted peanuts.
Hey, gang, what's that up there?
(Shaggy) Like, maybe the cleaning crew left a light on?
Or maybe it's the baseball spectre.
Why do we just say I'm right and leave it at that?
Guys? Guys!
(Velma) 'This is where Bob Taylor does'
'the radio broadcast for the games.'
That's right. He used to be a baseball player.
Sure, here's his trading card. Oh, and it still got gum.
Played seven seasons, threw leftie
And had a .102 batting average.
- Is that good? - If you're playing tee-ball.
Actually come to think of it, Bob Taylor was
on the same team with Cab Craig.
Really?
[organ music]
Oh-oh, it's that awful organ music.
Come on, gang, I've got a plan.
Follow me!
[evil laughter]
Okay, Fred, so like what's your plan?
'To come in here and see who's playing that organ.'
- And then? - Didn't think it out past that.
Well, I've got an idea. Ru-un.
♪ Well you can play my game if you just tell me your name ♪
♪ Or you can play my game but I'll put you to shame ♪
♪ I almost broke my highest score ♪
♪ When you walked through that door ♪
♪ I lost my game and you're to blame ♪
♪ I could have been in the hall of fame ♪
♪ Well you can play my game if you just tell me your name ♪
♪ Or you can play my game but I'll put you to shame ♪
♪ Or you can play my game if you just tell me your name ♪
♪ Or you can play my game but I'll put you to shame ♪
[rumbling]
(Daphne) Uh, that sure was close.
I've heard of take me out to the ball game.
But never take me out at the ball game.
[laughing]
Gotcha!
[screams]
(Autumn) You're the baseball spectre?
Autumn Summerfield.
Why are you trying to get a picture
of the baseball spectre?
I was driving home when it dawned on me.
Louis' picture plus that creepy catcher's picture
equals great publicity.
Now, why don't you kids do me a favor?
And stop getting in my way.
- She sure is grouchy. - And she sure is lying.
- What? - How do you know?
Because, listen to that storm outside.
She said she was driving home when the idea hit her.
But did you notice her suede shoes?
They were perfectly dry.
Maybe she dried them off.
Suede, please.
[alarm buzzing]
Like, what's that?
(Fred) 'Someone's trying to let the rain in.'
And ruin tomorrow's game.
The controls for the roof have to be around here somewhere.
There they are.
(Daphne) Now all what we have to do is to get
past old, tall, dark and terrible.
Okay, here's the plan.
Shaggy, you and Scooby create a diversion.
- Right. - Daphne?
You and Velma will jump over to the other side
of the roof and get to that control panel.
- Check! - Check!
What about me?
Well, you're gonna make your way over to the..
[screaming]
[evil laughter]
[thunderclap]
[whimpers]
[evil laughter]
[indistinct chattering]
Yeah!
Oh, no, Scooby's not gonna make it.
Freddy, what are you doing?
And we're safe.
[alarm buzzing]
[screaming]
Oh, no, you don't.
He's gonna hit the field.
Jeepers he went right through the field.
Oh, great, let me guess, that means we have to investigate
the dark, creepy, spooky catacombs.
I wonder how many people know about these old tunnels.
(Shaggy) 'A pickle barrel.'
Man, I could sure go for
a sweet dil right about now.
Man, these things are ripe.
Yeah.
Wait a minute, guys, those aren't pickles.
They're baseballs, and they're soaking in kerosene.
You'd have to be pretty hungry to eat pickled baseballs.
They're not for eating, they're for throwing
flaming fastballs by the baseball spectre.
Well, gang, it's morning.
Let's get up to the field and see
if we can find some more clues.
Fred, you mean, get out of this cobweb filled catacomb
and into the nice safe sunshine?
Oh, man, like you talked me into it.
Yeah, me too!
Shot out of a canon?
No way, I'm an athlete not an idiot.
I quit!
Scoob, maybe you can get work as a bear skin rug.
[giggling]
That kid should consider himself lucky.
I couldn't get a job anywhere near baseball
after I left, but I did what I had to do to get by.
I painted houses, gave piano lessons
even did a stint as a dog groomer.
- Dog groomer? - Sure, here I'll show you.
Just brush this, straighten that, handle it lose.
With a nice bow and voila.
Well, I'd better get back up to the booth.
Bye, kids.
[laughing]
Hey, Louis, are you ready for the big game?
I don't know, I've been watching this old film of Cab Craig.
'He was my idol.'
- Hmm. - Hey.
Like, where are all the other players?
The game starts in 15 minutes.
I guess they were scared off by the spectre.
Looks like we're gonna have to forfeit the game.
Forfeit the game?
No way, you gotta break that record.
I think I've got this mystery just about wrapped up.
And I know how we can help Louis
and catch that baseball spectre.
It's a beautiful night for baseball, as the Grizzlies
'take the field.'
Do you think Scoob's okay?
Are you kidding? What a ham.
Okay, fans, Steve Powell with you to call the 3rd inning.
'And stepping to the plate is Louis Santiago.'
'Who's only one home run away from breaking the record.'
'It's the baseball spectre's'
'second appearance in his many games.'
'He has four scares and seven attempts.'
Now, Daphne!
[creaks]
[growls]
Okay, Shaggy, time for phase two!
rat-a-tat-a-tat
Help!
Shaggy!
(Steve) 'It's a ball, ball, strike, ball, strike!'
'Ball, strike, strike.'
[panting]
[growling]
My plan is working perfectly.
'Now, all Scooby has to do is lure the spectre'
'into the canon.'
[growling]
We did it. Plug your ears, Scoob.
click click click
I wonder what..
boom
[screaming]
I can't see who it is.
Just take a look up there.
[speaking in unison] Bob Taylor!
Our first clue was when we saw the spectre
playing the stadium organ.
(Daphne) 'Bob Taylor told us that when he couldn't get hired'
with a baseball team, he used to give piano lessons.
But there was one clue that really put it all together.
Notice when Cab throws at the runner
he throws with his right arm.
The baseball spectre is a leftie.
And according to Bob's baseball card, so is he.
But why would you do this?
Because Cab Craig was my best friend.
I wanted his record to stand forever.
But what about Autumn?
I sure thought it was suspicious that her shoes
were dry if she left the park.
Well, a girl's gotta be prepared, don't you think?
Wow, I thought I was the only one who did that.
Play ball!
Here you go, Shaggy.
I made you a caramel corn, salted peanut
cotton candy, chocolate malt sandwich.
I think I'm in love.
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Hey, guys, I was told you might have an extra seat up here
so I could watch the game.
Wow, it's Mike Piazza.
Of course, you can watch the game with us.
I came here to see if Louis can break the record.
Uh, would you like some food, Mike?
Sure, what've you got?
Um, actually, I-I just ate. Thanks, anyway.
Hey, look, Louis is coming to the plate.
[cheering and applause]
[organ music]
(Steve) 'And Louis Santiago has broken the record.'
'He's broken the record.'
'All with a little help from those meddling kids.'
[cheering]
Scooby-dooby-doo!
[theme music]
