12* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The dandelion is gone, Charlie Brown's team is defeated by Peppermint Patty's team in a 100-to-nothing loss, but Sally joins the team as an assistant coach while Charlie Brown is inspired by his sister's actions to keep other areas of the world clean.]]
13* ButtMonkey: Charlie Brown as usual.

21* FlowerMotifs[=/=]InnocentFlowerGirl: Sally bonds with the dandelion due to it being all alone on the pitchers mound, just as she feels alone in the baseball game.
