Happy 20th Anniversary to “Homer at the Bat”! Original airdate 20 February 1992.
Awesome! I watched this episode last night, what a coincidence! I forgot how great that episode was, it’s now one my favourites for sure!
For many years I didn’t know that song at the end was parody…until the actual “Duke” died.
Same here.
And do something about those sideburns!
Twenty years. Jesus.
Anyway, if anyone is interested, last year I knocked up a collage of baseball cards for all of Monty’s ringers. I chose cards from 1991 because I figured the episode would have been in production that year – if not, well, the cards all have Simpson-yellow bordering:

I’ll give you a Mary Worth phone for it.
How about eight dollars and two popsicles?
Okay, two and I get to keep this old birdcage!
Done.
(Still got it!)
