1. Esoteric throws a 'hard slider' Posted: March 06, 2013 at 04:09 PM (#4382167)You'd have had better odds if you'd somehow found a way to combine baseball with Pavement and Republican politicians.
Fun facts: Ryne Sandberg was the first choice to be the second baseman. Jose Canseco was supposed to have an affair with Edna Krabapple but was a jerk about it. Harry Shearer and Julie Kavner hated the script. Ozzie Smith's kid was a huge Simpsons fan.
Harry Shearer loathes baseball for some reason. And it would probably be easier to compile a list of Simpsons scripts he's on record as loving.
Really? He does a great imitation of Vin Scully.

Some dubious choices, especially picking Hooper over Cobb and Charleston. Maybe he just liked the name.
Yeah, Burns would be the type to pick people based on names.
