6/10
Kind of weak

It's a shame I end my reviews today with a weaker episode. There's a baseball player named Casey who's revealed to be a robot. It's not a twist. It's told to the audience about six minutes in. It does kind of remind me of the 1951 version of "Angels In The Outfield" if only because I saw it recently. People say that Casey can't play because a player must be human.

They decide to give him a heart. He then doesn't play as well because he feels bad for the opposing team. The manager then gets the blueprints. Rod Serling's narration implies he builds more robots to win games. How can they win games if they have hearts as they must to qualify as human? It's by no means terrible, it's just one of the weakest episodes. **1/2
