* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: To an extent, the teams Goro plays for in the early seasons are this. Notably in Season 1, where he had to gather people to have enough players in the Mifune little, and Season 3 where Seisshun had no baseball club and he had to start one himself (in a school that was previously all-female, and thus has very few male students, to top it off).
