As per usual, The Score does an outstanding job. This is an iconic piece of 20th-century history pop culture. The episode is that GREAT and transcends generations.

The best part was Mr. Burns's "explaining" to Darryl Strawberry that Homer, as a right-handed hitter, was a better matchup against Shelbyville's lefty relief pitcher.

Smithers: "I am afraid all your players have tired and passed on. In fact you're right fielder has been dead for 130 years."

Mr Burns. "Damnation! OK, then find me some good players, living players, scour the professional ranks, the American League, the National League, the Negro Leagues.

You forgot that he was an astronaut.

Don't forget that the radiation poisoning gave Mike Soscia super managing powers, so I guess there was some good out of it.
