During its run, "The Baseball Bunch" was well received by children and adults alike. Throughout its five years on the air, the series won multiple Emmy Awards for outstanding achievement in special programming, a gold medal from the International Film and Tape Festival in New York, and an award from Action for Children's Television, as well as receiving an endorsement from the National Education Association. In its time, the series also spawned a fan club, (known as "The Baseball Bunch" "Fun Club"), which young fans of the show could join for a fee of $4.99. Members received a "membership certificate", a "Baseball Bunch" T-shirt and wrist-bands, a full-size color poster of "The Bunch", and "The Baseball Bunch" "Fun Book", which included color photos and biographies of Bench, Lasorda and the kids, puzzles, sheet music and lyrics for the show's theme song, and a comic strip known as ""The Baseball Bunchies"".
