Q: How is a baseball team similar to a pancake?
A: They both need a good batter!

Explanation: The word “batter” can refer to the person on a baseball team who has the bat and is hitting the ball.  The word “batter” can also mean the thick liquid that a cook uses to make pancakes.  The batter is poured onto the griddle; the cooked batter is called a pancake.  This joke plays on the double meaning of the word “batter.”
