Baseball Mask appeared in a pocket dimension of the Ghost Ship many years later. He challenges the Gokaigers to a baseball match, saying he'll let them leave if they beat him in a game. The Gokaigers Gokai Change into the Gorangers and manage to win, with the third strike being a cheat, distracting Baseball Mask with a simulacrum of the G3 Princess.

Behind the scenes

Portrayal

In his original appearance in episode 53 of Gorenger, he was voiced by Ichirō Nagai (永井 一郎, Nagai Ichirō^?). In the next series, J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, Ichirō Nagai voiced the monster Devil Batter who, like Baseball Mask, was also baseball-themed. Ichirō Nagai would go on to voice Master Xia Fu many years later in Juken Sentai Gekiranger. In Baseball Mask's return in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger The Movie: The Flying Ghost Ship, he was once again voiced by Ichirō Nagai.

However, in Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen, Baseball Mask was voiced by Hideyuki Hori (堀 秀行, Hori Hideyuki^?), who previously voiced Zubaan in GoGo Sentai Boukenger and also voiced Baseball Mask's master, the Black Cross King, in the same movie.

Notes

• Considering he has a baseball for a head and his crime life is centered around baseball, he could be an evil take on the New York Mets' mascot, Mr. Met.
• His appearance in Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen sees him in Winter 1976, the days of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, making Baseball Mask the only monster in the movie not to be a part of the present day Shocker-Zangyack Alliance.
