Today marks a seminal moment in television history. As the best baseball themed episode, and easy top 20 all- time episode*, of the Simpsons debuted tonight twenty-five years ago tonight. There is no better tribute than watching the episode again either through SimpsonsWorld or your DVD collection. The second best celebration is reading this equally classic Erik Malinowski article about the creation of the episode Homer at the Bat from five years ago. Seriously go do those things if you haven’t already today. I can wait.
Okay did you take care of that? No really do those two things before you finish this.
