17 December 1990
Under threat of violence little Eli steals some baseball cards belonging to Frank from Mama Colton's house and gives them to T.J., his older friend. While attempting to retrieve the $50,000 collection from the Batter's Box trading post MacGyver meets Wendy Riley, daughter of a former baseball player who's being blackmailed by a counterfeit memorabilia ring run by Bill Marsh. As Dexter, MacGyver offers to trade a baseball rigged with a homing device for some of the baseball cards. He and Wendy locate Marsh's home, but Wendy follows MacGyver in and is taken hostage and driven to their printing plant, Home Run Printing, Inc. Marsh contacts Riley and demands the 1977 Reggie Jackson collection in exchange for his daughter's life. When MacGyver insists on bringing police into the situation, Novus leaves abruptly, and MacGyver is left to find the location of the plant using Mama Colton's telephone company connections. MacGyver arrives in time and helps him free Wendy. Novus Riley must hit a "homer" to stop Marsh from escaping through the gates.
Eli: Can I have your autograph? How much does he want, MacGyver?
MacGyver: I don't think he wants anything, Eli, except for you to share his love of the game.
