Err.... Maybe when Bart saw that Kristy could play softball, he decided that it was okay for girls to join. And then Patty joined the team. Or... it could be like in the Mighty Ducks, and Bart just really wanted to win, so he went out and found this girl who could play and talked her into it, and convinced her to distract the boys on the krushers. ..

^ I like that theory. ;D I always thought Patty seemed like a nice little girl in Haunted Mansion. Actually, all of the Bashers did. Too bad they were horrible (and I think Bart encouraged it a bit) in Walking Disaster. Meanie Mos! ;D

^ I definitely wish that, too. I did like how they were mentioned in Haunted Mansion. I wonder why they weren't clients and always found that a bit strange. Yeah,I really liked them in the Haunted Mansion

^ Agreed. They were really nice in Haunted Mansion, but in Walking Disaster they were terrible! It's been a while since I read Walking Disaster, but didn't they make fun of Matt for being deaf, and Jackie for being a klutz, etc? Grr. The thing I hate the most is when people make fun of others for having something physically wrong with them. (I'm not talking about how little kids sometimes ask curious questions about people with disabilities; I'm talking about when they are old enough to know someone is disabled in some way and they out and out tease them for it). It's not nice to tease for things like klutziness, either, but teasing someone because they are deaf? Horrible.

Sometimes people make fun of what they don't understand instead of just asking about it or accepting it. Matt's deafness was not his fault, no more than Jackie's klutziness was his. I think, though, that somewhere down the road the kids began to understand that. Maybe that's why they came around, or maybe it was just a difference in the ghost writers. Who knows?

I wish we had gotten to know the Bashers' better too, especially after Haunted Mansion. It also might have been nice if their families had thanked Kristy and Charlie (yes, Bart, too) for taking care of their kid's that night...maybe that might have encouraged some sitting. Bart could have been made an associate sitter even like Logan, which reminds me of something for another thread.
I'm a baseball fan so loved the idea of Kristy organizing a team for the kids. However, the books that featured the Krusher's sure did share a lot of the same dialog..much like a "chapter 2" in any bsc book I guess. Lol, to whoever said at least it wasn't about ballet dancing. I took ballet very briefly as a young child before giving it up. No interest at all.
Back to Bart, he sure was horrible to ignore the Bashers' teasing in Walking Disaster. Then again, Kristy, should have pointed that out to him.
