The Baseball Bunch (1982)
Wrong name for Tommy's character.

Tommy Lasorda's character was The Dugout Wizard not The Wizard of the Diamond. And the show was intended as a lighthearted, youth based, look to the techniques of baseball and to teach kids tips on improving their skills. This show was produced at a time when baseball was still considered a sport not a business. Skill and the love of the game were the driving motivators for the sport not how much money you can make or how many performance enhancing drugs you can pipe into your system. For a professional player to even consider being involved in such a venture is considered unheard of in this day and age. Jonny Bench and his 'friends' performed a public service to the children that loved the game not the fame.
