Kramer's punching out Mickey Mantle, and throwing a little chin music to Joe Pepitone, is a classic. Plus the show was full of baseball stars, such as Keith Hernandez, Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Paul O'Neill, Danny Tartabull, and Buck Showalter.

Who can forget Kramer asking Paul O'Neill to hit two home runs for a sick kid, and then when O'Neill hits one, and has an apparent inside-the-park home run changed to a triple and error, Kramer gets into a physical confrontation with the kid over an autographed birthday card. And what about Larry David's portrayal of George Steinbrenner? Too funny.

The show has more than enough baseball to keep anyone happy. How about Elaine wearing an Orioles cap at a Yankee game, and then being asked to remove it? And Kramer getting hit in the head with a foul ball. It's unquestionably rich in baseball.
