I never saw this “Simpson” segment when it first appeared on the telly.  Thanks to Deadspin for recreating it for us.   I really like most of the “Deadspin” blogs but this is  only one of a handful I’ve been able to share with you, ours being lily-white and theirs being, well, um, colorful.   This Deadspin blog’s titled, “The Making of Homer at the Bat. The Episode that Conquered Prime Time 20 years Ago Tonight” (February 20).   I found the article totally entertaining.

Consider this little fluff-post a jump start as we head into spring training ~ I mean a gal’s gotta do something.  Can’t just sit around and twiddle our thumbs waiting for opening day you know …
