Distinguish the name from "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", a well-known baseball song.{{Infobox television | show_name = Take Me Up to the Ball Game | director = Ken Stephenson | producer = Michael Hirsh Patrick Loubert | screenplay = Ken Sobol | company = Nelvana | distributor = Viacom Enterprises (1980) Warner Home Video (VHS, 1981) | released = September 18, 1980 | country = Canada | language = English | preceded_by = Easter Fever (1980) }} Take Me Up to the Ball Game is the sixth animated television special from Nelvana Limited, released in September 1980. The title is a play on the song title "Take Me Out to the Ball Game". PlotA children's baseball team (consisting of anthropomorphic animals) encounters a talent scout from outer space named Irwin (voiced by Phil Silvers), who offers them the chance to play against a team from another planet. They later discover that they're playing in a championship game, and that the opposing team has never been defeated because making up one's own rules — which Earthlings call "cheating" — is a common practice in interplanetary baseball. During the first few innings, the Earth team is not doing well against their opponents, and some of the players suggest that they should cheat as well; the team's leader, however, insists that it would be wrong because "cheaters never prosper" (an assertion that provokes laughter from the entire stadium). The Earth players start anticipating their opponents' tricks and countering them without breaking the rules; the spectators are thrilled by this unexpected turn of events, and the Home Team actually enjoys having a genuine challenge to face despite the fact that the Earthlings are now winning. Irwin, who'd bet heavily against the Earth team, tries to put the odds back in his favor by entering the game himself, but it's no use; the Earthlings win the game. Voice Cast
