Bumping this. Looking for a story that references Casey at the Bat, where the plot partially involves Donald watching a baseball game where the Casey-esque batter deliberately gets two strikes, though with the twist being that a distraction caused by Donald is what makes him strike out. I'm pretty sure it was an Egmont story, probably late 90s/early 00s.
Say, I am trying to remember a Mickey story, drawn I think by Cesar Pelaez, and that was published in France in the early 90s, in "Journal de Mickey".
Where Mickey is staying at a scientist base that has an artificial environment. It has a beach and a small sea. Mickey sees the scientists having fun in the water, he asks them if it is fun, but the scientists suddenly leave and act somber, saying they don't have fun. And most of the story is about Mickey interacting with the base's sentient computer who speaks with a lisp. One panel has Mickey playing chess with the computer, with it using a robot arm to move its pieces (and winning).
Anyone knows it? Thanks.

This story was about Uncle Scrooge arriving at an island where an ancient pirate was stranded and Scrooge encounters his corpse and treasure, also there was some funny Donald Duck girl who ends up having a crush on him LOL. It was from a fairly recent LTB (German) issue I believe but I've not been able to find it again.
Also anyone know the name of the Mickey Robot Mosquito story from Topolino? It's pretty much the only detective Mickey comic I liked and would like to atleast know who drew it.

The girl is a brown-feathered native girl who otherwise looks... remarkably like Donald with eyelashes (right down to the body language and poses; she decidedly *doesn't* seem like Daisy), so I can't imagine it's anything else...

Yup that's it! Shame the author wasn't very active I was mainly trying to find more like this one, but now I can go back and read it atleast!
I'll post again some questions I wrote that remained unanswered. In case someone missed them...
- Rockerduck becomes the ruler of a kingdom, but he is forced to fight a dragon that was recently set free from a cave. Rockerduck asks Scrooge for help - after he humiliated him in a competition - and Scrooge has to be convinced by Huey, Dewey and Louie to help him, although Scrooge admits he wouldn't mind Rockerduck to be burnt to ashes by the dragon.
Either Donald or one of the nephews keeps suggesting to give the dragon a "ball of wax", and they react like it is an old stupid myth...
And then it turns out the dragon loves to eat wax, so they keep feeding it wax to keep it tame, becoming a tourist attraction.
Published in an old 80s French "Picsou Magazine".
- Scrooge, Donald and the nephews go venture in the Wild West. They take a ride from a Native American biker, and after Scrooge is stingy and refuses to pay him for the ride, the biker shows him his collection of scalps, and tells him it comes from all his customers who didn't want to pay. So Scrooge is convinced to pay.
They meet a local duck called "John Deuff" (pun on "jaune d'oeuf" which means "egg yolk"). And then another local who looks suspiciously like him and directs them to their destination.
Later, the ducks visit an old ship stranded in the desert. They are confronted by a ghost duck pirate who shakes chains, and throws a sword at them.
HDL later deduce the ghost is fake, because the sword is made of "good steel". They trap the ghost and reveal he is John Deuff, who disguised himself for reasons I forget (because he wants to protect his family's legacy or something). His talent at impersonating a ghost is remarked by the ducks, and the story ends with him turning the stranded ship into a tourist attraction/haunted house.
Published in an old 80s French "Picsou Magazine". And I am also looking for a story where Donald and HDL go in a junkyard with many piles of trash and metal where there is a mysterious person wrapped in old clothes "haunting" the place, with an old radio telling ominous things about how he is a threatening force...
Donald and HDL try to fight and escape this junkyard phantom, and when he falls and is unmasked, they are surprised to find out "he" is a woman.
Donald: "you... you're..."
Junkyard phantom: "Yes, a woman, so what?"
And then she explains herself and why she did this, and at some point puts on a record that reminds her of an old lover.
I think this story was published in a 90s "Journal de Mickey" or a 90s "Super Picsou Géant" and the art on the woman kinda felt like Romano-Scarpa. (Scarpa stories were rarely published in the Journal de Mickey). Thank you for your help!

This is probably Rockerduck The Royal (S 71039). Found by searching for stories featuring the nephews, Rockerduck and Scrooge, with a publication in Piscou Magazine listed in Inducks and the keyword 'dragon'.

If it's the one I think you mean, it was written by Carlo Gentina and drawn by a pretty young Claudio Sciarrone.
