Baseball Hall of Fame honors 'Homer at the Bat' episode of 'The
Simpsons'
Associated Press

Steve Sax won two World Series rings, was a five-time All-Star and got
nearly 2,000 hits in the big leagues.

Yet to many fans, it's those half-dozen lines he uttered to a bunch of
yellow cartoon characters a long time ago that really made him famous.

"I get asked as much about being on 'The Simpsons' as I do about
baseball," Sax said this week. "They don't want to know how it was to
hit against Nolan Ryan. They want to know about being on that show."

All thanks to "Homer at the Bat."

Still hugely popular 25 years after it first aired, that Simpsons
episode featuring the voices of Ken Griffey Jr., Darryl Strawberry,
Jose Canseco and a lineup full of luminaries gets a fitting tribute
Saturday from the national pastime.

That's when the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, will present a
plaque to Homer -- well, really a piece of paper. Plus, a
Simpsons-themed exhibit will open inside the shrine.

Actual Hall members Ozzie Smith and Wade Boggs will be in town to talk
about taping their roles as Homer's teammates on the ringered-up
Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball squad, as will Sax.
