An adult coach runs up to his boys’ baseball team sitting on the grass: “Are we gonna win?”. “YEAH!” from the boys ... The coach continues, “OK team, inspection time.” He leads the boys, now seated on a bench, in a checklist chant of “Cap, Shirt, Bata Bullets” (x 2). The boys indicate each item in turn.
“Hey where’s the reserve?” asks the coach. A keen player steps up: “Here I am, coach!”. The boys moan when they see the reserve is a girl, but she hits a home run. Image freezes on her shod foot on the home plate. Onscreen text: “Bata Bullets. In all sizes”. Voiceover: “Bata Bullets. They take a lot of beating”.
