Cyberchase

"Chaos as Usual"

Who knew that math could be so much fun? OK, I did but I always liked math. For those unfamiliar with the PBS show, it follows the adventures of Digit, Inez, Jackie, and Matt as they do battle in each episode with the villain known as Hacker (voiced by Christopher Lloyd). The interesting aspect of the show is that the heroes defeat Hacker every time by using math. Yes, math! At the end of each show there is a segment called "Cyberchase For Real," starring by Bianca or Harry.

This was the ninth episode of the sixth season of Cyberchase. In this episode the "Cyberchase For Real" segment involved Harry, working as a vendor in Shea Stadium, hoping to catch a foul ball. And who is there to help him, none other than John Maine. If you go to 3:25 in the clip below, you can see the segment. The segment also shows Carlos Delgado fouling off a pitch and Oliver Perez pitching.
