[edit] Trivia
- Chester is given a great deal of character in this episode. For one thing, McBadbat is used as his last name, and his father (who is introduced here) is named Bucky. The "McBadbat" name refers to a family of pathetic baseball players, which explains why Chester lives in a trailer park with a low income for his family.
- The "New York Bankees" are an obvious parody of the New York Yankees, and the pay they receive.
- When Chester reverts back to being a lousy player, his clothes get knocked off after he pitches in a fashion like Charlie Brown from Peanuts.
- Chet Ubetcha's remark, "mighty Chester has struck out!!", is a reference to the closing lines of the poem Casey at the Bat.
- Despite magic being unable to let people cheat, Chester won quite a few baseball games with the help of Cosmo and Wanda.
