I was watching the Detroit Tigers-Chicago White Sox game tonight and the commentators mentioned Mike Scioscia. As I am both a baseball and Simpsons fan, I felt it necessary to try and discover what happened to Mr. Burns's Dream Team from the episode "Homer at the Bat."
In the episode, the players were as follows:
Pitcher: Roger Clemens (hypnotised to think he's a chicken) - currently playing in the minor leagues
Catcher: Mike Scioscia (suffered radiation poisoning) - has been the manager of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
First Baseman: Don Mattingly (kicked off the team because Mr. Burns did not know what sideburns were) - Now the hitting coach for the New York Yankees, no longer has a moustache, appears not to have sideburns
Second Baseman: Steve Sax (sentenced to six life sentences for every unnsolved murder in New York City) - now a financial consultant in California
Shortstop: Ozzie Smith (fell into the Mystery Spot) - inducted into Cooperstown in 2002, son Nikko was a contestant on American Idol
Third Baseman: Wade Boggs (unconscious on the floor of Moe's Bar after a fight with Barney Gumble over the greatest English Prime Minister; Boggs favored Pitt the Elder, Barney favored Lord Palmerston) - now a high school baseball coach in Florida
Right Field: Darryl Strawberry (played most of the game but was taken out so Homer could pinch hit) - arrests, divorce, etc.
Center Field: Ken Griffey Jr. (overdosed on nerve tonic, causing gigantisism) - actually still in the Major Leagues, playing for the Cincinnati Reds
Left Field: Jose Canseco (missed the game trying to save a baby, pets, household appliances, etc. from a burning house) - admitted to using steroids, implicated many teammates, no longer in Major League Baseball
I watched The Simpsons after the game. I was kind of hoping it would be this episode. It wasn't. Now I'm sad. :(

"To be or not to be...."
i was watching the simpson's last night. it was the one where they are sitting around reading great stories from history. it was very entertaining. "mmmm....this pig tastes almost as good as the real lenny." ralph wiggum as laertes from hamlet. I hated hamlet..this version was extremely entertaining. my favorite character in the play is fortinbras because he doesn't come in until the end.
