When I was in high school, our football team was awful. After three years of losing every game (usually quite badly), they tied the very last game of my senior year 6-6. The fans were so happy, they tore down one of the goal posts.
Begs to wonder about the other team. Not only did the Peanuts team load the bases but they went into the 9th inning tied. The peanuts gang are usually down 40-0 in the 1st inning. And as someone pointed out, the team has won at least one game maybe another. All when Chuck wasn’t playing.

well done, Rerun, your siblings’ team has won the Stanley Cup

If he keeps playing like that, Rerun will be re-walk.
VincentGoudreault over 4 years ago
Mhhh… That implies the bases were loaded and that the score was a draw until then…

A week or two ago Rerun was one year old. Is he playing baseball at that age, or has cartoon time stretched him to five now?

You didn’t win the game unless Re-run actually walked to 1st base, and the kid on 3rd base walked home and stepped on home plate …

I think the other team is going to cry.

Oh, I remember this now! I’m very tempted to stop reading for a week in an attempt to make this the last word in the story!

You know how rare this is when you see everyone dancing and celebrating like they won the World Series!

This sort of thing actually happened in a Major League Baseball game.

It’s a rare occasion where we the Peanuts can have a victory.

Meanwhile, halfway around the world, at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London:
“Yes, Your Highness…there’s a meteor the size of a small moon heading straight for us…”
“Great Scott! It’s the end of the world! …what could have caused this…?”

I wonder how the other team felt.

Walked Linus with the bases loaded in a tie game. Now that’s a ‘walk-off’ win! Well done, gang!

The U.S. hockey team in the 1980 Olympics. The Chicago Cubs in 2016. Miracles do happen.

Come on. You only need this comment for this strip. “There’s no crying in baseball”

I remember the strip when CB was home with a stomachache and they won for the first time ever.

Who was pitching, the young Barry Zito? You’re a good man Zito for letting a 1-year-old baby to give a win for Charlie Brown.

Ah, it’ll get disqualified because of Rerun’s age.

Start crying Charlie Brown. But not tears of joy, cry those tears of misery. Murphy is just winding up, you know.

Can he leave the game for a pinch runner?
