This episode basically has the exact same plot as the previous episode but with baseball instead of American football.

That said, the jokes are better than in the previous episode and the subject matter is the less dumb one of the two US exclusive sports.

Apparently, the episode ties into real-world events that were ongoing at the time it was produced, so all in all it seems to have more of an excuse for existing than the episode that precedes it. I just find it baffling that they put these two very similar episodes back to back instead of spacing them out more. Then again, unlike contemporary legendary sitcoms like Seinfeld and The Simpsons, Married... with Children was often very sloppily put together in regards to writing and production, the show lived and died entirely by its side-splitting jokes.

A baseball bore.

This episode combines two of the things I dislike most about Married With Children: Al's anti-feminist group NO MA'AM and American sports (with pro-athlete guest-stars who I don't recognise). Unsurprisingly, I didn't find it very funny.

The plot is based on an actual event: the Major League Baseball strike of 1994/1995. Al is suffering from baseball withdrawal, so he and his NO MA'AM pals set up their own league, the teams sponsored by nudie bars.

Featuring the likes of Mike Piazza (who?), Bret Saberhagen (who?), Frank Thomas (who?), Danny Tartabull (who?), Dave Winfield (who?) and Joe Morgan (who?), A Man for No Seasons might be of interest to fans of '90s baseball, but for someone like me, who hasn't a clue about such things, the only reason to watch is to catch Christina Applegate in a little dress.
