That’s right, the acclaimed television series “The Simpsons” will be toasted in Cooperstown, N.Y., due to this year being the 25th anniversary of the cult-classic episode “Homer at the Bat.” In the episode, Mr. Burns and Mr. Smithers gather up star baseball players to help the Springfield Power Plant softball team win the championship. They recruit the likes of Ken Griffey Jr., Wade Boggs, Don Mattingly, Roger Clemens, Jose Canseco, Ozzie Smith, Steve Sax, Mike Scioscia and Darryl Strawberry to tilt the odds in their favor.
