'''Billy Eheres''' is a former professional baseball player who runs [[Casey's Baseball Park]], a baseball camp for underprivileged children. 

Coming from a poor, orphan background himself, Eheres was recruited into the Dodgers baseball team earlier in his life.<ref>[[bsp:Spaceball|Script for "Spaceball"]], p. 19</ref>According to Mr. [[Brooks]], Eheres at one time had the potential to be one of the greatest baseball players of all time. At some point Eheres lost his left arm, and his jacket's left sleeve is pinned up. As he always felt guilty for making money doing something he loved, he opened the baseball camp for children to play just for the fun of the game.<ref>''Ibid.', p. 20</ref> 

Mr. Brooks assigns [[Jamie Hamilton]] and [[Hal Fredricks]] to do a story about Eheres' baseball camp. Eheres reveals that his camp is supported by donations, and if his baseball team, the [[Polecats]], don't win an upcoming game then the funding will dry up. When most of his team is taken ill, Eheres fears his camp will have to close. Fortunately the [[Super Scouts]] step up to the plate, taking the place of the Polecats after seeing [[Starla]]'s pitching arm, and win the game with a last minute rally, saving both the camp and the Super Scouts from [[Xaviar]]'s (disguised as Lt. [[Nash (1980)|Nash]]) machinations {{G80|Spaceball}}.

== Notes ==

* The spelling for the last name, Eheres, comes from the subtitles from the [[Galactica 1980 (Region 1 DVD)|Region 1 DVD]]. As no other [[BW:CJ|valid sources]] can confirm or deny this spelling, this is the spelling Battlestar Wiki uses. 
* The spelling "Ayers" appears to be fan derived, as the only sources for this name come from various fan publications and sites, and nothing official.
