It feels like a comedy starring Jim Bouton called Ball Four is just trying too hard...

I thought it was an old SCTV skit. It was for real?

It was on CBS during the Mid to late seventies, unlike police squad it did not lead to 3 movies with O J Simpson

VAGELY REMEMBER IT COMING ABOUT AS A SITCOM, THINK IT WAS A RESULT OF BOUTON'S COMEBACK ATTEMPTS AND MAYBE THE ANNIVERSITY OF THE BOOK'S PUBLICATION?

Forgot that the Police Squad show was inspired by the movie Airplane which was a spoof of all the Airport movies.
Police squad trivia who did Reggie Jackson play in the first police Squad movie???

Actually Airplane was a shot for shot parody of the 1957 film Zero Hour.
