The final episode of the first season of What's New Scooby-Doo is one of the weaker episodes.
In this episode the gang goes to a baseball game and discovers it is being haunted by the ghost of former baseball player, Cab Creig. The gang has another mystery on their hands.
The main problem with this episode is that the ghost himself is very forgettable. His design looks just like a bunch of ghosts we have seen in previous Scooby mysteries with nothing to make him stand out. As well as this neither his voice nor design feel creepy or threatening. The humor also falls flat through much of this episode. The baseball setting also does not feel very atmospheric and does not have the spooky feel that is in the best Scooby episodes.
However there is still enough for Scooby fans to enjoy here. The mystery is pretty well handled with some good misdirection throughout. Also the baseball player who the gang befriends, Luis Santiago is quite a likable character.
This is definitely a weaker episode from this season but there is still enough for Scooby fans to enjoy.
