Storyline

Two losers from Milwaukee, Coop & Remer, invent a new game playing basketball, using baseball rules. When the game becomes a huge success, they, along with a billionaire's help, form the Professional Baseketball League where everyone gets the same pay and no team can change cities. Coop & Remer's team, the Milwaukee Beers is the only team standing in the way of major rule changes that the owner of the Dallas Felons wants to institute. Written by Kelvin Cabrera-Castellar <kelvinc@concentric.net>

Trivia

The line used by Joe Cooper (Trey Parker), "I forgot how much Douglas Reemer cares about kids!" is spoken with the same voice Trey uses for his South Park character Mr. Garrison. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Coop and Reimer are shooting hoops at the party, you can see Reimer holding the beer in his left hand in multiple scenes, but when he drinks it, it's in his right hand, then immediately switches back to his left. See more »

Quotes

Narrator: Soon it was commonplace for entire teams to change cities in search of greater profits. The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee where there is no oil. The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where they don't allow music.
