I'm guessing that by "cursive baseball fonts" you mean fat scripts 
similar to those used on some team uniforms.

Here are a few that fit that category:


Ballpark Script and Ballpark Swash (Letterhead Fonts)
   Note: This used to be offered as "Pilsner"
Ephemera, Alternates, and Swashes (Letterhead Fonts)

Philly Sport Script (URW++; originally by The Font Company)

Team Spirit (free) by Nick Curtis
Ballpark Weiner (free)
Fenway Park JF (Jason Walcott, JAW fonts)
OptiSport-Script (Castcraft / Opti)

Google will help you find some of the thousands of available script 
fonts. Just google for

script fonts
  and
cursive fonts

Or go to major font foundries' and vendors' sites, including Adobe, 
Myfonts, etc., and search for script fonts.

For a fairly comprehensive guide to available script fonts:

Note that baseball team script logos are most likely custom-drawn to optimize the specific letter combinations and the resulting positive and negative spaces; they are derivative more of calligraphy than specific fonts.

Here's one from dafonts.com that also has a few different swashes. You can also play around with the curvature after typing it into Illustrator.

melissa,

But if you take away the long swash, and it looks much like an ordinary script...
