The Great Casey Smokes Out
Program Overview

The Story
"What a game this is!" shouts radio commentator Sid Singlemen from the broadcaster's booth. It's high drama on the field as the Bay City Bombers face their arch rivals, the Mudville Nine. But not to worry; the pride of Bay City is playing center field - The Great Casey Kavanaugh! That is until she drops the ball. Since Casey started smoking she can't run and play the way she used to and now she's been kicked off the team. No smoking allowed. It's up to Casey to quit smoking and learn about the negative consequences of smoking cigarettes if she wants to travel with the team to Mudville for the rematch.

The Players
Casey Kavanaugh: The greatest baseball player in history. She is a bit of a tomboy. She loves being a baseball player.
Sid Singlemen: Local sports writer and play by play announcer for the Bay City Bombers. He could easily be mistaken for Edward R. Murrow.
Coach: The manager of the Bay City Bombers. A gruff, hard-nosed coach. Quite down to earth. Prone to give frequent pep talks.
Peter Flynn: Or 'Roughhouse' as his friends call him. Considers himself to be 'large and in charge.' He is really only sure of two things, he hates fire and the damage it can do and he loves his dog Stripe. Stripe is just a stuffed animal but Peter doesn't realize it.
Stripe: A stuffed Dalmatian.
