Twilight Zone Clip: “The Mighty Casey”

The clip is from the classic science fiction TV show, the Twilight Zone. The basic premise is that a down and out team, the Hoboken Zephyrs is need of a jolt, and a robot named Casey that looks like a man is signed to pitch.

The team climbs in the standings thanks to Casey’s pitching prowess. After he's beaned by a ball, a doctor discovers Casey has no heart. The rules say nine men make up a team, and without a heart Casey is not a man. His inventor, Dr. Stillman, gives Casey a heart, but he becomes too compassionate to strike out other players.

The Zephyrs lose the pennant, and Casey is washed up in baseball. Anyway, watch the rest and see for yourself. It’s a tad long at 26 minutes, but it’s worth a see.
