- Please, hear me out.
Just give me a chance.
Marcus, stop trying to cast spells.
- Marcus...
- Stay away!
Look, Marcus, I want to apologize...
...for all the nasty things I did to you
when we were kids.
I'm not here to mess with you.
You're lying to me
like all the other times.
You are denied entry.
I'm sorry,
from the bottom of my heart.
I was stupid, Marcus.
Get out of my basement!
You're a bad, bad man! Go! Get out!
I didn't expect you to forgive me.
I mean...
Look, I know because of me...
...you were never able to feel
what it was like to play ball...
...or be part of a team.
So I wanna
give you my hat, Marcus.
Because even though
you didn't know it...
...you are the heart and soul
of this squad.
I'll see you around, buddy.
Start here.
- You've got 24 hours.
- What, are you serious?
If you build it, nerds will come.
And keep it under a billion.
It's all I've got...
...on me.
Excellent!
Okay, people!
a ballpark! Can we do it?
Yeah!
Cool!
Are you kidding me? Look at this.
Dude, this place is huge!
- Swings!
- We'll go on the swings later.
- Slide.
- That's right, there's a pool.
- We'll all go in after.
- I forgot my floaties.
We're here live in Greenfield
for the big game...
...between the Benchwarmers
and Jerry's Lumber.
The Benchwarmers were
recently rocked by scandal.
Let's see what the fans have to say.
Excuse me, sir. What do you think
of the accusations against Gus?
His soul will perish in the fire pit
of the underworld.
There you have it. The fire pits.
Not a good time.
Around the horn.
We could still win this thing.
- Wha...? How?
- Lf we use the Force.
Let's try not to be too geeky, Clark.
The Force is powerful,
my young padawan.
He's right. It is.
Hey, guys.
I know I'm not
on the team anymore...
...but I just wanted you to know that
I'm here to support you.
Because you'll always be
my best friends.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Shmegmer Park...
...and the final game
of Mel's Tournament...
...of Little Baseballers
Homo!
Hey, check out the little gnome.
Play ball!
Can I say something?
Yeah, I guess so.
Hand me the mike, please.
I can't reach it.
Hello, everyone.
My name is Marcus Ellwood...
...better known
as Dragonmaster784.
Or Yoda! Or Midget Boy!
It is true I ended up in an institution
as a child...
...from Gus bullying me all the time.
And he made my life miserable
for years.
To be honest, I thought I would never
stop hating him.
But then yesterday
he came to visit me in my basement.
And as I cowered in my peanut butter
fort, he apologized to me.
And I could hear the sadness
in his voice.
This nerd makes me
seem like Rambo.
I don't think so.
- John Stamos?
- Warmer.
And then, moments
after my old nemesis left...
...I saw a hat on my stuffed moose.
The hat of a Benchwarmer.
A Benchwarmer begging
for a new start, just like me...
...and so many of you.
He shouldn't get a new start! I'll never
forgive the kids who picked on me!
Yeah!
Young one,
life is too short to harbor hatred.
Do you remember episode
number 38 of Dungeon Wars?
The golden elves forgive the great
giants for destroying their village...
...even though the giants
made the elves' life hell.
were tortured too.
He's a modern-day Yoda.
I mean, not his looks
but his philosophy stuff.
- Actually, his looks too. Yeah.
- His looks a little bit too, yeah.
And so I forgive my new friend Gus,
as all of you should.
Look at all the joy and hope
he's brought to all of us.
He has more than paid his dues.
- Go, Gus!
- Come on, Marcus!
Thank you, Marcus. Come on.
- Hey. Buddies for life.
- Thanks.
- I want a little man too.
- Here you go.
Me and the guys have been playing
all these games, not for revenge.
We did it to show that everyone
should be allowed to play baseball...
...and have fun.
And that is why Clark, Richie and I
will not be playing in the game today.
Instead, our team will consist of
kids who've never known...
...what it's like to play in front
of a crowd or to be cheered on.
Let me tell you,
it's an awesome feeling.
So please, put your nerd
and jock hands together...
...and welcome to the field
the new Benchwarmers!
- Yeah!
- Hi!
All right!
Now, lastly, let's make some noise
for your new third-base coach:
Marcus Ellwood!
Is he all right?
was a monster.
I'm here to tell you that it's not
a monster. It's not a monster!
- You're all right.
- Take him in the shade.
All right, let's have some fun!
Hey, everybody,
it's Clark and Richie...
... and we're standing in
for Gretchen and Mitchell.
And we're gonna get things going
right now. Big deck.
He got it.
Oh, no.
And he's okay.
Oh, hey, that's my helmet!
That's my helmet!
It's all right, buddy.
Nice try, Sammy!
Oh, my God, I just saw
your head for the first time.
Let's give a nice round of applause
He missed it
and people are cheering.
Yeah, and his coach
didn't even yell at him.
That's pretty cool.
And here comes our lead-off hitter
with a familiar tape job.
Gretchen, I know why
you're taping your hands.
I also know why there's three squirrels
that won't be at this game today.
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Well, there's a strikeout.
That's okay! Good try! Good try!
Good going, Gretchen.
All right, next up it's Jarrett.
If you know Jarrett, you know his sister
works at Pizza Hut. She's over there.
Another strikeout.
And a strikeout. Strikeout.
Strikeout. Strikeout. Strikeout.
And a strikeout.
I think we got a free stadium!
Clark, we're beating them
in strikeouts.
And you're also beating them
in boogers picked, so we got that.
Good game. Drive home safe tonight.
God, he's a dick.
He got all of that one.
Back, back, back!
In the pool!
Good hit, Kyle.
Yeah, nice one, Kyle.
Go, Kyle!
Well, it's 42 to nothing as we head
into the last inning.
And it looks like the Benchwarmers
will go down without a fight.
Hey. What are you smiling at?
I guess how much fun
they're having.
Wipe the smile off your face
or I'll wipe it off for you.
You got three more outs.
You blow this shutout, you won't play
on a team next year. Got it?
Get out there and annihilate
those stinkweeds!
Let's go!
Come on, let's do this!
Strike one!
Hang in there, son!
Come on, Nelson!
Strike two!
Come on, strike out this loser!
You know what? You're the loser.
Time!
- What's up, buddy?
- Hey, Nelson.
- I'll throw you one down the middle.
- What does that mean?
It means choke up on the bat a little
and swing away.
- The ball's gonna be right there.
- Hey, thanks.
I can help you with your social studies
homework later if you need it.
Sounds good.
I suck at social studies.
Okay, guys, follow my lead.
- Butterfingers.
- He got a hit!
- Come on! Go, go!
- Oh, my God!
