Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalBadass: In the original comic strip (more specifically, the arc where the players are encouraged to grit their teeth before batting) Charlie Brown never hits the ball himself. In this special he finally manages to score a hit.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Determinator}}: Charlie Brown will NOT give up on the baseball team, ever. Even when he knows his friends wrath will turn on him when it's revealed he gave up the league sponsorship, he still refuses to abandon ship.
-->'''Linus:''' I don't know, Charlie Brown. Perhaps you should just leave town.\\
'''Charlie Brown:''' No, Linus. I know we can do this. We can win if we really try!\\
''(Charlie walks off.)''\\
'''Linus:''' Good ol' Charlie Brown. He ''never'' gives up!


Added DiffLines:

* EvenTheDogIsAshamed: Provides the Trope Image.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Hypocrisy is a running theme throughout this special. To wit:
** The girls use this as an excuse to not shout encouragement to the other players while they're on the field. According to their logic, they full well know Charlie Brown can't pitch to save his life, so saying otherwise would make them hypocrites.
** Schroder's ReasonYouSuckSpeech to the girls below falls into this given that he and the other boys also gave Charlie Brown a hard time for giving up on the league.
** Finally, the girls decide to make up for hurting Charlie Brown's feelings by making him a uniform. They do so by stealing Linus' blanket, not giving a damn about how upset Linus feels about this. Worse still, they even make Linus pose for the fitting.
* IdiotBall: After stealing his way to third base, Charlie Brown forgoes patience and runs for home before the next hitter comes to bat. Needless to say, it doesn't go very well.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While the kids acted pretty mean in walking out of the baseball team, they are correct to point out to Charlie Brown that they just want to enjoy their summer. So why should they waste it playing a sport none of them particularly like and they always lose at?


Added DiffLines:

* PsychologicalProjection: Shermy of all people states to Charlie Brown that his failures as a manager is what always costs the team in the end, thanks to this trope.
-->'''Shermy:''' I think you get a neurotic pleasure out of losing all the time.\\
'''Charlie Brown:''' That's all I need! [[HollywoodPsych Little League psychology!]]

* PetTheDog: Upon finding out the reason Charlie Brown turned down Mr. Hennessy's deal on getting uniforms -- the reason being the league wouldn't have allowed girls and dogs on a team -- the girls and Snoopy feel guilty for hurting Charlie Brown's feelings and decide to make him a uniform out of Linus's blanket.

The second ''Franchise/{{Peanuts}}'' TV special, ''Charlie Brown's All-Stars'' originally aired on Creator/{{CBS}} on June 8, 1966, six months after their first special.

In this special, Charlie Brown's whole baseball team quits on him after their humiliating 999th defeat. But Charlie Brown learns a way to win his team back when he hears Mr. Hennessy, the owner of the hardware store, wants to sponsor Charlie Brown's team, outfit them with real uniforms and incorporate them into a real league. All seems great and the team wants to play for him again... until Charlie Brown learns if he wants the uniforms, he has to kick the girls and Snoopy off the team, which he refuses. So Charlie Brown needs to win their next game to prevent everyone from getting mad at him.
