Hardball(1994)

Hardball is an American baseball sitcom that premiered on Fox in September 1994 during the MLB players' strike. The show aired Sunday nights for just seven weeks before cancellation in late October, timing that proved unfortunate—the series ended around when that year's World Series would have taken place. Despite its brief run, Hardball captured the sport's comedic side during one of baseball's most turbulent seasons, making it an oddity in television history: a baseball comedy that debuted and disappeared amid real-world labor turmoil that shut down the sport itself.
