Getting Darryl Strawberry to sign a ball with "But I hit 9 home runs today!" remains one of the highlights of my life.

One of my favorite softball moments in the simpsons is when Lisa says: “dad hit a home run 5 minutes ago and he’s still rounding second.” Homer then collapses on third and says: “let’s call it a triple”

I liked when the kids were picking teams: Bart: I'll take .... Milhouse Ralph: I'll take .... Jose Canseco

In 2017, "Homer at the Bat" was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Not only one glorious video today but two...

Got to appreciate Mattingly's comment after Mr. Burns kicked him off the team. "I still like him better than Steinbrenner". At the time I had no idea the significance behind that comment.

Well Mr. Burns has done it, the power plant has won it, with Roger Clemons clucking all the way!

Banger

Me: There's no video on KZfaq that is made specifically for my interests. *sees a video with Homer at the Bat done in the style of a baseball statistical analysis video* Me: I stand corrected.

Here's hoping you cover the greatest single game performance of baseball history: Bugs Bunny coming back against the Gashouse Gorillas. Dude had the best changeup of all time

The best misfortune is what happened to Ozzie Smith. The only I can't feel sorry for is Mattingly. Burns told him repeatedly to shave his sideburns and he still refused to.

Can we give Apu a little credit for his performance on the mound? After all, the Ny Mets are his favorite squadron.

"Let's go over the ground rules. You can't leave first until you chug a beer. After Scoring chug a beer. You have to chug a beer at the top of all odd numbered innings, oh and the 4th inning is the beer inning." Chief Wiggum "Hey! We know how to play soft ball." Someone did their research.

Man the Simpsons and baseball my 2 favorite things!

Supposedly canseco was originally meant to be stuck in bed with Edna krabappel in the original script but his ex wife found out so they had to change it

"I heard he thought about putting trash cans in the dugout" It's the gift that keeps on giving.

4:00 “Steve Sax, defensive minded second baseman” Clever lol

The hypnotist Mr Burns hires was hilarious. He even hypnotized Mr Burns into thinking he did a good job, after he turned Roger Clemens into a chicken 😂

You should check out the season Bugs Bunny had in the 40s. He was the only guy on the team. He played every position. He even played pitcher and catcher at the same time! And he went undefeated. Imagine his WAR.

Monty Burns was the original analytics based manager.

Daaaarrryl!!! Daaaarrryl!!! Daaaarrryl!!! C’mon we want Home Run Homer!!!

The Mattingly bit with the side burns was a play on Steinbrenner's no facial hair rule for the Yankees. When Burn's cuts Mattingly off ths team he remarks, "I still like him better than Steinbrenner". Lots of small tidbits that went in towards this episode that's always gonna be a classic

If Strawberry had 9 home runs, that meant he had to have had 9 at bats. That means that they bat the order 9 times - once an inning. The minimum runs scored in an inning in which a team bats around is 3, and that's if you leave the bases loaded. That means that they scored a minimum of 27 runs, and because of the fact that they were the home team, so did Shelbyville. We know they're the home team because Homer's hit by pitch was a walk off (so to speak) which only the home team can do. I guess my point is that all the other players are really good as was Shelbyville, who to our knowledge had no MLB stars on their roster. Also it bothers me that no one is on 3rd base when Homer comes up at the end.

The bat used in The Natural was called Wonderboy. That's two letters changed, not one.

"Don't worry ma'am, I'll save your cat!" This episode also birthed one of the best OSW Review running gags. Upon seeing a wrestler with very little or no hair on the sides of his head: "shave those sideburns, mate!"

I tell you what man, it is EXACTLY these kind of stories that make the *ENTIRE* sport worthwhile.

Would love to see a retrospective on the Retroville 9’s cheating scandal sometime in the future. Downloading the combined strength of Babe Ruth, Mark McGuire, and Barry Bonds onto an AI bat is right up there with banging trash cans.

“Roger Clemons we know him.....” had me dying 😂😂

The Simpsons is my favorite show of all time

This is absolutely beautiful

Possibly the greatest thing about the whole thing is the remake of the song "Talkin' Baseball" that plays over the end credits! Seriously, this episode is one of the greatest pieces of media ever created.

A great cast of players from the 80s and Homer making a good team. Also, "We're talking softball!"

I feel so old. I watched all these players live and saw this episode premiere.

"You know who ken griffey jr is come on" I feel like this would not be a natural line for Homer to say but I would very much like this episode re-cut with that line added in. It's gold.

10:13 I ain’t gonna lie. Mr. Burns looks like a G for the photo

This was creative for opening day. Slick loved it. Now do the kid from rookie of the year at age 25. Trying to break his arm every summer to no success

This is the best video EVER!!! Also, remember that the radiation gave Mike Soscia super managing powers.

Scioscia was in the episode because Carlton Fisk turned them down. Other players that were asked but refused include Nolan Ryan, Rickey Henderson and Ryne Sandberg.

This is some incredible content.

Two great videos today. You’ve outdone yourselves. You guys *seriously* deserve more followers.

“You’re a left handed and so is the pitcher -Mr. Burns” - Luis Rojas

2:05 love the Malcolm in the middle reference

Tbh tho that team was pretty stacked.

Props to Mr. Burns. Played the percentages and it worked out perfectly.

you can really tell how he got all that power- the jiggle from the belly moves back and forth- creating energy so powerful it can send any ball into a space shuttle.

Can't believe two of my biggest passion coming together into one. Thank you for the vid.

By far my fav Simpson’s episode ever! Thanks for making a vid on it!

I was 12 when this episode was broadcast, it was so damn cool at the time, and still. The Simpsons was a magical show for a long time.

Love this episode, some people think this episode cursed the players. For some reason Jose regrets being in this and gets offended about it.

This is absolutely outstanding. Well done!

Maybe Don Mattingly would have made the Hall of Fame if he had just shaved those sideburns!

This episode was always my brothers’ and I’s favorite to come on for reruns in the afternoons back in the 90s when I was a kid.

Anytime I see this episode, I think of Delino DeShield Jr's swollen face when they show Ken Griffey Jr with his head.

Loved it, great job!

But Homer never touched first base

Great vid loved it!

A launch angle of 912 it’s pretty gnarly

Lol I watched your Montreal Expos videos and this video back to back. I love the references to that Black bush Chappelle Skit

Um... Don “The Hit Man” Mattingly was one of the best first basemen of his era. Saying he was “above average” is discounting how good he actually was.

I’ve seen this video like 1000 times and still love it

One of the best episodes ever

2:41 I wonder if Carl's table leg bat is a reference to when someone came to the plate with a table leg against Nolan Ryan, but was told it's not a legal bat and he replied 'Oh well, I probably still couldn't hit against him anyway.'

GREAT JOB STARK RAVING SPORTS

This guy is the 🐐

Come on dude, greatest video EVER congrats on this great chanel.

Mattingly didnt have discipline he just refused to cut his sideburns. He should have been a great example like Canseco.

Not only is this the best vid you've ever made, its THE best video ever made

Still one of my all time favorite Simpsons episodes ever, "Homer at the bat".

This is one of the greatest episodes of this show ever....

As a huge baseball and Simpsons fan as a kid... yeah. Loved this episode

This is impeccable

Great work

Great video! This episode is 30 years old today!

This was a great video man lmao

Great video sir! Thank ya for the laughs!

Love the addition of the PMT clip. All time

I was waiting for that Tampa joke and was NOT disappointed. I legit laughed out loud. Great vids today man.

This got you a sub. Incredible video.

Every player on that team deserves to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Including Home Run Homer.

This had one of the most memorable songs - talkin softball was awesome. We're talkin Homer, Ozzie and the Straw

Incredible upload my friend

This is awesome.

ive watched this vid like 5 times best srs vid

I really enjoyed this video : )

Best Sports Comm Video.

Homer at the Bat is still the GOAT Simpson's episode.

Ok you chug a beer when you get a hit, you chug a beer when you get to first, you chug a beer......"hey, hey, we know how to play softball.

I needed this laugh, thank you

I love how Bart immediately knew it was a homemade bat

Absolute GOATS

Burns: "Mattingly! I thought I told you to trim those sideburns! Go home; you're off the team!" Mattingly: "I still liked him better than Steinbrenner." Burn.

One of your best videos! Darryl.... Darryl.... Darryl.....

SHAVE THOSE SIDEBURNS MATTINGLY!!!

the moment that changed my childhood for ever

The Craig/MitM reference was great lol

If Griffey didn’t get gigantism, this team wouldn’t have been stopped

Thinking this would have been better played on the 30th anniversary of April Fools Day...but ok. Wicked funny!

Boggs is actually a huge drinker. His teammates counted his record in one night and the amount of beers was ridiculous.

Great video.

It’s like there’s a party in my mouth, and everyone is invited!
