The Baseball Hall of Fame will be celebrating the 25th Anniversary of “Homer at the Bat”, one of the greatest episodes of “The Simpsons”.
First televised on Feb. 20, 1992, the episode featured Roger Clemens, Wade Boggs, Ken Griffey, Jr., Steve Sax, Ozzie Smith, José Canseco, Don Mattingly, Darryl Strawberry and Mike Scioscia as ringers on Homer Simpson’s Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball team.
The celebration will include a round-table discussion at the Baseball Hall of Fame on May 27th with Wade Boggs and Ozzie Smith as well as episode executive producers Al Jean and Mike Reiss, director Jim Reardon, executive story editor Jeff Martin and casting director Bonnie Pietila.
And just remember, “No matter how good you are at something there’s always about a million people better than you.” – Homer Simpson
- Well, Mr. Burns had done it,
The Power Plant had won it,
With Roger Clemens clucking all the while,
Mike Scioscia’s tragic illness made us smile,
While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the bar-room tile.
- We’re talkin’ softball,
From Maine to San Diego,
Talkin’ softball,
Mattingly and Canseco,
Ken Griffey’s grotesquely swollen jaw,
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law,
We’re talkin’ Homer,
Ozzie and the Straw.
- Well, Mr. Burns had done it,
The Related Rabbit Hole
