1984 ABC. "Yankees vs. the Cubs." Two Chicago cops move to Hawaii to escape the grind and cold. Robert Ginty and Jeff McCracken. With Mako, Tracy Scoggins, Branscombe Richmond. Now they are working as Hawaii cops and in this episode they get teamed up undercover with two female cops from New York. Brianne Leary and Lorna Patterson. Second City jokes and everything; they're mismatched teams of buddy cops, complete with pranks and yelling.
The four of them are posing undercover as newlyweds and watching another couple at a resort hotel. There is a nice, long exchange about baseball between the Yankee and Cubs fans, hence the title of this episode. Very reminiscent of Carla on Cheers, who was unbeatable at baseball trivia.
I watched several episodes of Hawaiian Heat a couple of years ago. Good show. I read that the source for some of the VHS copies of episodes was actor Robert Ginty himself, who gave them to a fan when he found out he was dying from cancer. I recently saw Ginty playing a medical examiner for several episodes the year before this on Simon & Simon.
