Sam is a Martian who is signed as a pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He's unbeatable and he raises the Dodgers from a last-place team to the World Series. Of course, now he'd have a Nike contract and be making enough money to fly a spaceship back to Mars. Another good story by X Minus One transcriber Ernest Kinoy. (from "The Critical X Minus One" by Jim Fanisher)
Credits (Goldin): Ernest Kinoy (writer), Ivor Francis, Santos Ortega, William Zuckert, Mandel Kramer, Bob Hastings, Jack Orrison, William Welch (producer), Daniel Sutter (director), Fred Collins (announcer)

With many very grim tales of exploding rockets and alien conquerors, I'm glad that X-1 had its more lighthearted shows, and this one is a particular fave of mine, despite my general lack of interest in baseball.

Pitches & Batters , come in all shapes and sizes 🤔 though this pairing is quite the "odd couple" .

Hilarious, great musical score, and requires quite a scientific knowledge!

This predicted the Dodgers moving to LA a few months before the announcement.

This is a perfectly nonsensical yarn. Good stuff.
