During the events of The Twilight Zone: Season 1 Episode 35 The Mighty Casey played by Jonathan Hole

During a game, Casey is hit with the ball and hospitalized. Team Doctor examines Casey and says he is in great shape. As he is taking Casey's pulse, he becomes confused and tells McGarry and Beasley that Casey isn't alive. Dr. Stillman tells the Team Doctor and Beasley that Casey is a robot. The Team Doctor tells Beasley that he must inform the Commissioner and Beasley gets upset with McGarry for not telling him about Casey. The Commissioner reads article 6 section 2 from the baseball code which states that a team must consist of nine men and as Casey is a robot, he is suspended from playing. Dr. Stillman offers to create a heart for Casey and the Commissioner agrees to let him play if he has a heart.
