The Simpsons - Season 03 - Episode 17
"Homer at the Bat"

[MegaFafnir]

"You watch too many movies, Sax!" XD

[DTGee]

I love how they just arrest some random guy and declare that every crime in the city is solved.

[tonyclifton]

coincidentally, the number on his shirt is 6, which is precisely the constitutional amendment which grants a detained person access to a lawyer

[CaptainCanuck]

This episode used its guest stars so well. Everyone had a funny little subplot that still tied in to the main story.

[astyanax]

This has gotten to be one of my best moments in the simpsons ever

[Rumpole]

Always loved this scene. Remembdr telling my Dad about it and hed never watched an episode before. He laughed when I told about it but oddly never went onto become a fan.

[ivanpena]

Poor bastard just wanted to have a solid home

[michaelshipman]

The funniest part of this joke is they never say why they pulled him over in the first place

[sNickfan]

0:30: I’m going to say this to Steve Sax if I ever get a chance to meet him.

[JW-zrju]

I''m sure later on in the episode Smither's said he got 6 life sentences. Lol

[DarthPhallix]

Easily one of the greatest episodes of television EVER. When these writers were firing on all cylinders in the early to mid 90’s, every moment of this show was a solid gold classic.

[SurlyDuff]

The fact this happened to another athlete with the initials SS this morning is absolutely hilarious.

[lucashood]

That’s enough out of you smart guy. 😆😆😆😆😆😆

[jasonx]

Ah Simpsons, you were so good & funny

[thekidfromiowa]

Ironically Sax had switched from the Yankees to the White Sox by the time the episode aired. The episode was in production during that transition (1991-1992).

[j]

I felt so bad for him as a kid, still do lol

[bellamitchell]

I new his son John sax he just died in a helicopter accident rip john

[herpderp]

The dude that got arrested after shooting that healthcare CEO reminded me of this episode.

[brunaskarting]

Funny how Lou pockets Sax’s driving licence 😂😂

[thesubwaynut]

The arrest was likely payback from the police department for their softball game loss to the power plant team at the start of the episode
