This is how I feel about this whole episode. I don't feel like it's the funniest and I'm not a big fan of baseball. But it just has this warm fuzzy feeling like it's perfect classic Simpsons. The whole episode just feels like a nice hug
Homer: "Clemens, did I make the team?" Clemens: "You sure did." Homer: "Woo-hoo! In your face Strawberry!" Clemens: "Wait a minute, are you Ken Griffey Jr?" Homer: "No." Clemens: "Sorry, didn't mean to get your hopes up."
This song is not only nostalgic because it comes from a 25 year old classic Simpsons episode, but the song itself evokes an aura of a summer long gone by.
Derrick Stefano without question ....coincidentally this was the first simpson episode I watched as a kid....and then next day I saw the dodgers play and I was like hey that's the sport Homer played .....
I get that lyric stuck in my head all the time. If (when) I ever get a TBI, this song is gonna be my default setting in RAM that just plays on repeat while they try to find the reset button for my brain
Listened to this again at 35 years old, overweight, out of shape, playing with my company team and as soon as we all cracked beers, I understood and appreciated this episode more than I ever thought I could.
I bet every once in a while, you bring out this dialogue: "Okay, let's go over the ground rules. You can't leave first base until you chug a beer. When scoring, you have to chug a beer. You have to chug a beer at the top of all odd number innings. Oh, and the fourth inning is the beer inning!" "Hey, we know how to play softball!"
When you're a child this episode is a funny story about softball. As an adult you realise that it's really about how grown men still hold onto their boyhood dreams of sporting glory.
He wrote the original song called Talkin Baseball Willie, Mickey and The Duke. ua-cam.com/video/fWKA9Zi5-_Y/v-deo.html He later did versions for different teams.
it works cause you can tell the writers were in on the farce with the way they took out the players...its just like this idea is dumb lets push it past its limits and let people know we know its absurd just roll with it...like in cape feare how the 3rd act ends with the most insane ending ever...if your going nuts might as well make it go full blown right..go for broke make it funny...
I think it's hilarious that Mr Burns ordered Don Mattingly to get rid of his sideburns in this episode, then Don ordered his players to do it in real life
@@kisbie No, the joke is that Steinbrenner had a pretty ridiculous hatred of facial hair and most Yankee players had to shave their beard/stache to stay on the team.
My father has seasons 1 through 4 on DVD. Was one of the most repeated shows we'd watch at the cabin. This episode was one of my favorites. His special lightning bat
This is the warmest-feeling song ever. Just the way he sings “Hooomer” is ridiculously soothing. Such a nostalgic feel. And this episode is so goddamn funny. ❤️ Long live The Simpsons.
He wasn’t though. All the regular plant players got benched after Mr Burns lured the stars there. Homer was actually the only one on the team to technically not play with one of the ringers, as Strawberry played Homers position and was the only one who didn’t meet a random misfortune.
Nostalgia is so weird it makes you feel warm and fuzzy but also a sense of depression that your life will never ever be the same as when you enjoyed this as a kid among other things
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 laid 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 talking Homer... Ozzie and the Straw 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 talking Homer...

Jimmy Johnson He is seventh in hitting home runs at 630 career. And for a guy who played 22 years during the steroid era and never touching them, he is an incredible legend that will make it into the hall of fame soon. But yeah he never one a World Series
Back when the Simpsons were clever, funny, touching and could provoke proper thought. Today, the Simpsons are just another Sitcom, just without the canned laughter and full of pop-culture references: not parody, references! Like having Katy Perry in an episode and saying "recognise this person and laugh, you sheep!"
whats funny is the lady gaga ep isn't that bad its okay for a newer season 20+ ep like its actually funny but its a total representation of the issues with modern simpsons since the show went digital in 2002...its more style over substance visual humor over good writing...the first 12 seasons are memorable for the lines not the visuals for the most part....sure the way its shot or directed at times is cool but nothing about the animation or art stands out..season 2 is very flat and yet amazing for the writing....it just makes me laugh on a 3rd vieweing almost the same amount like the first one did....@@matsimmo6208
This episode pulled off the goofiness with such brilliance. It didn't whomp the viewer over the head, yet acknowledges that things were going to get stupid. 90s Simpsons dis that so well and so often. No cringiness or flash in the pan guests in the story and there was even some rich characters and sentiment in this episode
@ agreed, I can still remember coming home from school when I was in first grade back in 1993 and first watching the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and then the Simpsons later. Great times!!

I always thought Karl would have been good for another appearance, but I heard an interview with Harvey Fierstein where he said he had no interest in doing another episode. Too bad.
This is the only 20-something-minute piece of media that captured the magic of 19th century baseball, pre-war baseball, post-war baseball, and the modern era all in one sandwich.
Homer Simpson: You're Darryl Strawberry! Darryl Strawberry: Yes. Homer Simpson: You play right field. Darryl Strawberry: Yes. Homer Simpson: I play right field too. Darryl Strawberry: So? Homer Simpson: Well, are you better than me? Darryl Strawberry: Well, I've never met you, but... yes.
The Simpsons are one of the only reasons why I have Disney Plus. I remember in the 90s, I had tapes on top of tapes with episodes that I recorded on the VCR. I turn into a kid again when I watch the Simpsons
This song has become so dear to me that I cry when I hear it. I was 17 when this season aired, so maybe that's got something to do with it. But whatever the reason, I just can't listen to this without getting all teary-eyed. Maybe it's male menopause, idk, it just gets me somehow

This song, and everything involved with it, makes Homer At The Bat...the single greatest Simpson's episode ever created. I know about Frank Grimes. I don't care.
This episode is 11 years older than me and yet I still feel so cosy and warm from all the nostalgia when hearing this song. I am so glad that I watched the golden age of the simpsons when I was young.
Super Mega Baseball 4 has a bunch of retired major league players, and among them are Mike Scioscia, Steve Sax, and Ozzie Smith. Can't help but think of this episode and smile every time I see one of them, just like how I smiled at Scioscia's tragic illness all those years ago.
Am I the only one whereby when I listen to a theme like this or others from the simpsons golden era - i am immediately transported back to that time. I get all of the feels of watching this with my family as we'd do every week when new episodes were airing. I literally get a feeling inside me of rememberance and it's like that feeling is allowing me to experience the feeling of my childhood again. Anyone else?
I’m with you. In my mind I’m sitting in my living room with the front door open in the evening with my whole house fan pulling in cool air from the evening. My mom is cooking dinner in the kitchen, and I’m sitting on my old couch with my dad to the left of me and my brother to the right. Watching this on a projection tv. Things used to be simple.

Awww really?!! 🎉 my bday!!!
This episode was an absolute masterpiece in conception, execution, writing, everything in between.
this episode is what proper allocation of a production budget looks like. we never have and never will see anything like it ever again

Song sounds so deep here the way the person sings it
Superweapon667 he sounds different, but a cool little fact. This is the same guy who sang the original that this song parodies
He wrote the original song called Talkin Baseball Willie, Mickey and The Duke. ua-cam.com/video/fWKA9Zi5-_Y/v-deo.html He later did versions for different teams.

That would be February 2nd, 1992, and as of responding to this, it's now 32 years old and still a favorite episode
Ozzy Smith seems to have vanished of the face of the Earth.
Mike Scioscia might not live through the night. Steve Sax is looking at six consecutive life sentences.
What about Clemens?!
Sir, Clemens is in no position to play.
And only if mattingly would get rid of those damn sideburns

30 years ago today this episode aired, season 3 episode 17.
Vintage Simpsons nothing compares ❤🐐
Saw this episode when it first aired when The Simpsons was moved to Thursday nights and it’s one of my favorite childhood memories!
LORD PALMERSTON!😂
Pitt The Elder!
Even as kids.... we knew these drunks at a bar having an argument about World War 2 Politics was hilarious 😂
De los mejores episodios, me trae tanta nostalgia que se me sale una lágrima
I would not be upset if this replaced “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the 7th inning stretch.
I prefer they replace "God Bless America" with this.
This is the only 20-something-minute piece of media that captured the magic of 19th century baseball, pre-war baseball, post-war baseball, and the modern era all in one sandwich.
This is my dad’s favorite Simpsons episode
Regularly in my head for 25 god damn years!
From Maine to San Diego......
A nostalgic and Sad song indeed
yep, it truly is. glad to know someone else out there gets the same feeling when they hear it
I don't follow baseball so when I'm hanging out with guys at work who LOVE it, I bring up This episode and BOOM ! You made a friend lol
Homer Simpson:
You're Darryl Strawberry!
Darryl Strawberry:
Yes.
Homer Simpson:
You play right field.
Darryl Strawberry:
Yes.
Homer Simpson:
I play right field too.
Darryl Strawberry:
So?
Homer Simpson:
Well, are you better than me?
Darryl Strawberry:
Well, I've never met you, but... yes.
The Simpsons are one of the only reasons why I have Disney Plus. I remember in the 90s, I had tapes on top of tapes with episodes that I recorded on the VCR. I turn into a kid again when I watch the Simpsons
This song has become so dear to me that I cry when I hear it. I was 17 when this season aired, so maybe that's got something to do with it. But whatever the reason, I just can't listen to this without getting all teary-eyed. Maybe it's male menopause, idk, it just gets me somehow
still up there. one of the best episodes ever
It's hard to believe this was as early as season 3. One of the best episodes of all time.
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 barroom 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!
Back when the Simpsons was incredible every episode
This episode is just a good time.
One play of this isn’t enough.
This was my favourite baseball episode ⚾️
*"instant nostalgia for a show you just watched"*
I was just washing the car and this song popped up in my head. Had to come back and relive some nostalgia. What a tune 😍
thank you Conan and others
This song came up in my itunes dj so I figured I check out the video.
This song, and everything involved with it, makes Homer At The Bat...the single greatest Simpson's episode ever created. I know about Frank Grimes. I don't care.
This episode is 11 years older than me and yet I still feel so cosy and warm from all the nostalgia when hearing this song. I am so glad that I watched the golden age of the simpsons when I was young.
You're like 19 years old what the fuck are you talking about "when you were still young".
Super Mega Baseball 4 has a bunch of retired major league players, and among them are Mike Scioscia, Steve Sax, and Ozzie Smith. Can't help but think of this episode and smile every time I see one of them, just like how I smiled at Scioscia's tragic illness all those years ago.
for 30 years i had no idea this was a parody
Am I the only one whereby when I listen to a theme like this or others from the simpsons golden era - i am immediately transported back to that time. I get all of the feels of watching this with my family as we'd do every week when new episodes were airing. I literally get a feeling inside me of rememberance and it's like that feeling is allowing me to experience the feeling of my childhood again. Anyone else?
I’m with you. In my mind I’m sitting in my living room with the front door open in the evening with my whole house fan pulling in cool air from the evening. My mom is cooking dinner in the kitchen, and I’m sitting on my old couch with my dad to the left of me and my brother to the right. Watching this on a projection tv. Things used to be simple.
