He calls Peppermint Patty to make a deal, but she tells him there's only one player on his team she wants, "he funny-looking little kid with the big nose." Snoopy! Peppermint Patty offers Charlie Brown five good players for Snoopy. But will Charlie Brown trade his beloved beagle just to win a ball game?
