Step into the ring with us this month as week take a look at two sports-themed episodes from The Twilight Zone.  "The Mighty Casey" and "Steel" both explore themes of man vs. machine and the struggle to stay relevant in a changing world. In "The Mighty Casey," a struggling baseball team's fortunes change when they recruit a mysterious but talented player named Casey, only to discover that he is a robot. "Steel" takes place in a near-future world where human boxing has been replaced by robot fighters, and a former boxer disguises himself as a robot in a desperate attempt to prove his worth. Both episodes highlight the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity and the challenges posed by technological advancement.
