(also there's something about the pacing and use of language in the show that feels decidedly Simpsonesque)

I'd never have known who Mike Scoscia, Steve Sax, or Ozzie Smith were if it weren't for that episode and there's a very good chance their legacy from that episode will outlast their actual sports legacy. I'm sure they mean something to baseball fans, though.

Aw drat Ricky Henderson would have been a great addition to that. He's an alien from another planet.

mind the walrus posted:1. You can really tell it was the 1999 writing staff and not the 1996 writing staff. Agreed plus for the Dundee joke the original had the wonderful knifey-spoony exchange and it’s downgraded to “look a larger slingshot”

Also the kangaroo pouch goo gag is repeated. Also just gonna say it, the original Tobias voice is funny on its own, this version is not.

It really was a good way to be remembered.

Nolan Ryan just being an ornery sonofabitch in the episode would've been great.

ultrafilter posted:Wade Boggs talked about that in this WaPo article. Yeah, my only knowledge of Wade Boggs is from the fact he appeared in The Simpsons and was referenced on Futurama and Always Sunny. That's going to be the case for most non-Americans and even a pretty big proportion of Americans, too. (It doesn't help that it's such a hilarious name that most people would assume was just made up if you talked about him as well)

Mike Scoscia had a really successful career as a manager after he was a player and is probably most famous for that, and Carlton Fisk is a sports hero in Boston to the extent that I was a little peeved that tweet used his White Sox uniform (although I guess that IS where he was playing when the episode aired) e: I actually have a Carlton Fisk bobblehead I got for free at a Red Sox game loquacius fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Feb 21, 2022 |

Was David Ortiz ever on post-golden-age Simpsons and if so how bad was that episode

The thing that bums me out about the other players they asked, and it's a silly thing to be bummed about, is thinking that each player's story in the episode probably doesn't have much to do with the actual player. Like if Henderson had agreed would he take Ozzie Smith's place (let's say)? Because I'd like to think that each story kinda fits with each player's persona.

I'd been converted some time ago, but as we get higher in Haschel's Johnson Rankings, I gotta say it's impressive how good some of those memes are. Though I must say of the last batch, the elevator one is ranked much too high, and the Jimbo one too low. It's actually scary how well the cross breeding of Johnson and Woods works.

My wife asked what I was laughing at when reading Haschel’s ranking thread and when I tried to explain it she clearly thought it was funny for about six seconds. She is a saint for putting up with me for six years and counting.
