Beauty Contest:

Stu and Lou want to win a fishing boat, so they enter Tommy in a Beauty Pageant, by disguising him as a girl and named him Tonya. Will the truth come out?

Baseball:

Stu and Lou take Tommy to his first baseball game, but Tommy's balloon gets away from him, so he goes on an adventure to find it.

I liked Beauty Contest more, it was funnier and had a better plot. Baseball, the sport, is boring (I think), and so an episode all about baseball certainly bored me. But, as a whole, both episodes were pretty great, so my final grade is an A+. Baseball was kind of boring but not too boring for my tastesmoreless
