Quickly

Shaggy investigates a haunting to save his favorite baseball team.

Thoughts, Details and Recap

The gang is at the field of Shaggy's favorite baseball team. Daphne's quirk of the week is wearing the Maurice the Mothscot costume.

The team is being haunted. Fred volunteers the gang's services as investigators. They investigate with the owner's approval. They meet an organ player and a former ballplayer who is employed by the team as the equipment manager.

Shaggy is highly invested because he loves the team and doesn't want to lose the Gypsy Moths. He shows great courage by doing the same thing Fred and Velma do in every case. Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby are attacked by the Ghost of Chip Braverton and this isn't enough to frighten off Shaggy for long. In the tradition of Shaggy overcoming his fear when motivated, he is glad to be the bait in the trap.

The ghost is not surprising at all. It's the guy that used to play for the team. The only other suspects are the organist who didn't have the physicality or motivation and the team owner.

Solid episode. Shaggy is outstanding in this episode and Daphne remains my favorite character in this series.
