In Veep season 1 episode 6, titled "Baseball," the Vice President of the United States, Selina Meyer, attends a charity baseball game to throw the first pitch. Things quickly go awry when the catcher drops the ball, causing Selina to throw a second pitch and be mocked by the crowd.

Meanwhile, Selina's staff is distracted by internal drama. Her press secretary, Mike, is concerned about his job security after a reporter hints at a possible scandal involving him. Her personal aide, Gary, is tasked with buying baseball tickets from a scalper and struggles to haggle for a fair price.

Back at the White House, Selina's Chief of Staff, Amy, is dealing with a potential crisis involving a military drone that has crashed in the Middle East. She works to gather information and prepare a statement for Selina, but is continuously interrupted by the Vice President's demands and the chaos of the baseball game.

Throughout the episode, Selina struggles to balance her duties as Vice President with her desire to be seen as a relatable, down-to-earth person. She repeatedly turns to her body man, Jonah, for advice on how to appear more likable and relatable, but his suggestions only seem to exacerbate the situation.

As the episode comes to a close, Selina's mishaps at the baseball game lead to a rise in her popularity, much to the chagrin of her staff who worry about her being taken less seriously as a politician. The episode ends with Selina delivering a statement on the drone crisis, which is ultimately overshadowed by an explosion of media attention surrounding her baseball game antics.

Overall, "Baseball" is a classic episode of Veep that highlights the show's signature blend of political satire and cringe-worthy humor. The episode tackles themes of image-management, crisis communication, and the absurdities of modern American politics, all while delivering plenty of laughs. Fans of the show will certainly enjoy this episode, which features some of the series' most memorable moments.
