Homer Finally Had His Day As ‘The Simpsons’ Made Baseball History

Description

The eight position players who were supposed to suit up for Montgomery Burns’ power plant softball team in a high-stakes championship game in 1992 combined to collect 16,762 hits in the major leagues, along with 67 All-Star Game appearances, 10 World Series rings, three MVPs, and three Rookie of the Year awards. And yet Hall of Famers Wade Boggs, Ken Griffey Jr. and Ozzie Smith — as well as pitcher Roger Clemens — are at least as well-known for their quarter-century old exploits with a bunch of four-fingered cartoon characters than anything they ever achieved on a baseball field. Simpsons executive producer Al Jean said May 27, shortly after Homer Simpson — who collected the game-winning RBI against Shelbyville Nuclear by getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded — was “inducted” into the Hall of Fame following a rollicking roundtable discussing the “Homer at the Bat” episode.
