Baby Bear and Casey play catch when they notice the viewer and welcome them to Sesame Street. Baby Bear explains that everyone is playing catch today. Telly Monster joins them, but admits he never learned how to catch a ball. Baby Bear tries to teach Telly by throwing the ball, but Telly fails to catch it even with his hands out and eyes open.

Determined to help Telly, Baby Bear invents the "Keep-your-eye-on-the-ball-and-catch-it Machine." However, Telly still can't catch the ball, even when Rosita tries to teach him her aunt's technique. Baby Bear then asks Maria for assistance. Maria suggests using a larger ball, but even with a beach ball, Telly still misses.

When a cow from the nursery rhyme "Hey Diddle Diddle" arrives, she suggests that Telly could try to catch her after she jumps over the moon. Telly succeeds in catching the cow, but he still misses when attempting to catch the ball again. Baby Bear and Maria encourage Telly not to give up, and Baby Bear brings Joe Torre, manager of the New York Yankees, to offer advice.

Joe Torre tells Telly that practice makes perfect, and with enough practice, he'll be able to catch the ball. As Joe leaves, he throws the ball back to Telly, who finally catches it! Baby Bear and Maria congratulate Telly, who continues to practice with Baby Bear to improve his catching skills.
