Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Take Me Out to the Holosuite

"Take Me Out to the Holosuite" is the 154th episode of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the fourth episode of the seventh season. It was first broadcast on October 21, 1998. The title refers to the 1908 song "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", the unofficial anthem of North American baseball. The episode develops the recurring motif of Captain Benjamin Sisko's love of baseball, which was established in the pilot episode "Emissary". Sisko accepts a challenge from a physically superior Vulcan crew to a game, and forms a team from his regular staff members in short order. The DS9 team is called the "Niners", which in turn became a term for fans of the series.
