About this item
When the plant-eating Green Sox face the meat-eating Rib-Eye Reds, baseball will never be the same. Tied zip to zip, the game is a pitchers duel until the Green Soxs hothead manager goes snout to snout with the dodo umpire and gets tossed out. The Sox respond with their veggie-powered bats and score three runs! Momentum swings back to the Reds before the seventh inning stretch, and theyre all tied up in the bottom of the ninth. Will this game need extra innings, or will Apatosaur save the day?
