He s batting 365. But his first base play is off. Daddy, what s a base? The bases are what the batter runs around after he hits the ball. He wants to get to as many bases as he can before the ball is caught. Caillou didn t quite understand what his Daddy was talking about. \ Horray! He hit a home run! In the bottom of the ninth! What a great game! Yipeee. I want to play baseball, Daddy. Here s a glove, daddy. Thanks, Caillou, but here is the baseball glove. This is the glove Grandpa gave to me when I little, and now I m giving it to you. Wow! Thanks Daddy. Caillou Eps. # 66 (66-3) Star Light, Star Bright As recorded script 2
Here. Let me throw you one so you can try out the glove. Oooops. Oh no! That s why Mommy says don t throw balls in the house, daddy. I guess you re right Caillou. Caillou was all ready to learn how to play baseball. Okay Caillou. The first step to playing baseball is learning how to catch. Okay. Good catch, son. Your turn, Caillou. Ah! Throwing and catching the ball weren t as easy as they looked. That s okay. Next time try to catch it with both hands, that s what beginners do. MR. HINKLE Did someone lose this?

Hello. I m playing baseball, Mr. Hinkle. MR. HINKLE Baseball?! My favourite game. I used to be quite a player when I was a kid you know. Here, Caillou. Catch. I think this glove is broken daddy. It takes a bit of practice to learn how to catch a ball. Here. Let me show you how to hold your mitt. NO! It seemed to Caillou that everyone knew how to play baseball. Everyone except him. You know, I didn t know how to throw and catch very well when I started playing. I ll say he didn t. When your dad started learning how to play, there were quite a few broken windows around the house. But he got the hang of it soon enough and had a great time playing. Really?

Sure. Here. Catch. I hate baseball. What do you say we take a little break and go to the park, Caillou? Wow! BILLY Throw it back, Caillou! Go on. Try. SARAH Good throw, Caillou! Caillou was happy he made a good throw. Guess your practicing this morning paid off. BILLY We usually come to practice every day. SARAH If you keep practising, maybe you ll be able to play with us soon. Daddy. Can you show me how to hold my glove now? Caillou Eps. # 66 (66-3) Star Light, Star Bright As recorded script 5
It takes a little time to get used to the feel of catching a ball in a glove. Try to do this a few times. Keep at it and soon you ll be able to catch the ball in the glove almost every time. Catching a ball still wasn t easy. But Caillou was having fun now. Give that back, Gilbert. Catch, Gilbert! Ooops. Sorry, Daddy. That s okay. Here. Catch. I caught it! I caught it! I can play baseball. Almost. You still have to learn how to bat. No one had told him there was still more to learn. Hang on, Caillou, let me give you a hand. If you hold the bat this way it will help you be a good hitter. And it helps to stand like this. Caillou Eps. # 66 (66-3) Star Light, Star Bright As recorded script 6
Now just keep your eye on the ball. Caillou just wanted to hit the ball. When can I hit it Daddy? Now! I did it! I did it! Run to first base Caillou! Run! Uh, the other way. Caillou run! Horray! I like batting. So do I. SARAH BILLY You hit to me first, Sarah. Caillou couldn t believe how far Sarah hit the ball. I can t do that. Or that. Not yet, but you ll be able to someday if you keep practising. But I want to play a game. Caillou Eps. # 66 (66-3) Star Light, Star Bright As recorded script 7
