Season one[]

The Baseball Specter was the disguise of baseball commentator Bob Taylor, who wanted to prevent pitcher Luis Santiago from breaking the home run record of his late friend, Cab Craig, at the Cookie Co. International Park. Posing as the ghost of Cab Craig, he attempted to threaten Santiago, but when he continued the game anyway, the ghost decided to attack the game; he threw flaming baseballs by soaking them in kerosene, and he sabotaged the lightbulbs to burst using a generator. His attack forced the stadium to postpone the game until the following day.

The ghost was later seen attacking Shaggy and Scooby in the unused Potters Stadium, which the current stadium was built on top of. Later, he attempted to open the stadium's retractable roof, allowing rain to ruin the stadium to prevent the game from occurring. However, the game occurred anyway, and the ghost attempted to attack Santiago, but fell into a trap prepared by Mystery Inc. Taylor's unmasking was taped on the stadium's Jumbotron, watched by the audience, and he was later handed over to authorities for his crimes.
