Good's Baseball Team were a baseball team of spirits formed when Winston Zeddemore decided that a group of good spirits and a group of evil spirits make a decision by playing a baseball game. They were disadvantaged due to Evil's team being allowed to cheat, while they were forbidden to do the same. Their side still won the game and because of this, Peter's soul would follow the ways of the good spirits.[1] They disappeared shortly after Evil's Baseball Team was defeated.
History[]
Good's baseball team was composed of the supernatural forces of good. According to Native American legend, once every 500 years, the supernatural forces of good and evil fight a battle. That battle has always taken place on the same site.[2] In the 1980s, the battle took place in the Jaguars Stadium. The battle was based on whatever their surroundings were so it was in the form of a baseball game.[3] They fought for the fate of a human soul. In the 1980s, it was Peter Venkman's.[4][5] Winston was allowed to play on their team.
