One of the most iconic episodes of
“The Simpsons” was honored on Saturday,
May 27, 2017, at the National Baseball
Hall of Fame. The “Homer at the Bat”
episode in which All-Star baseball
players are brought in to play on the
company’s softball team celebrated its
25th anniversary, and the National
Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown
commemorated the episode during Hall of
Fame Classic weekend.
The episode which originally aired on Feb. 20, 1992, features the voices
of baseball stars Ken Griffey Jr.,
Darryl Strawberry, Jose Canseco, Don
Mattingly and others. Mattingly,
playing for the Yankees at the time was
repeatedly asked on the show by the
team's coach and power plant owner
Monty Burns to shave his sideburns.
Hall of Famers Ozzie Smith and Wade Boggs were in Cooperstown to talk
about being Homer Simpson’s teammates.
They were two of the nine ringers on
the Springfield Nuclear Plant softball
squad, only to be befallen by various
maladies and accidents. That leaves
Homer to play hero, winning the
championship softball game with a
walk-off hit-by-pitch.
During a round-table, Homer was “inducted” into the Hall of Fame, followed
by a Simpsons-theme display at the
museum. The show was also honored
during the Hall of Fame Classic legends
game at Cooperstown’s historic
Doubleday Field, where the towels were
handed out. The Hall of Fame also has a
signed copy of “Homer at the Bat”
script and a tape of the episode.
