Building a list of the greatest episodes of The Simpsons is something so difficult and wrenching that it shouldn't be attempted, but no matter who you are, you can find room in your pantheon of classics for "Homer at the Bat." First airing on FOX in 1992, the Season 3 episode assembled a literal All-Star lineup of future MLB Hall of Famers (and, uh, Mike Scioscia) to play alongside Homer Simpson on his company's softball team and has roundly been recognized as one of the best and funniest the show has ever done—as well as one of the most consequential, as Erik Malinowski's terrific history of the making of the episode for Deadspin will tell you.
