In Cheers season 10 episode 21, titled "Take Me Out of the Ball Game," the gang at Cheers get excited about the upcoming charity baseball game that they've been invited to participate in. Sam is certain that they're going to take home the trophy this year, but Carla isn't so sure. To up their chances of winning, Sam recruits a group of professional baseball players to join their team.
Meanwhile, Cliff is feeling down after his mother cancels her visit to Boston. To cheer him up, Norm takes him out for a night on the town. But things quickly spiral out of control when they end up getting arrested for jaywalking. When they're finally released from jail, they realize they're going to miss the baseball game.
Back at Cheers, the gang is getting ready to play their big game. Diane, in typical Diane fashion, is taking the whole thing way too seriously and is driving everyone crazy with her intense coaching. But when Sam's hired players bail on the game at the last minute, Diane is forced to step in and play.
The game begins and it's chaos from the start. Diane is giving orders left and right, but the rest of the team is having a hard time following her lead. Meanwhile, the opposing team is made up of a group of rowdy bikers who are determined to win at any cost.
As the game progresses, the tension between the two teams heats up, with both sides pulling dirty tricks and refusing to give an inch. In the end, it all comes down to the final play of the game, and the outcome is anyone's guess.
Meanwhile, Cliff and Norm are trying to make it to the game before it's too late. They hitch a ride with a group of nuns, but when they discover that the nuns are actually a group of bank robbers on the run from the law, things take a turn for the even crazier.
In the end, the baseball game comes to a surprising and hilarious conclusion, with the gang from Cheers learning some valuable lessons about teamwork and the importance of having fun. Cliff and Norm finally make it to the game, only to find that they've missed all the action. But they don't mind - they're just happy to be there with their friends.
