Description: Homer joins his work's softball team because he has made a "super bat" known as 'wonderbat'. The bat manages to hit a grand slam every time and the team face Shelbyville in the championship. Mr Burns bets the other coach a million dollars that his team will win, so he signs up a bunch of professional baseball players to his team. Darrel Strawberry take's Homer's position. On the day of the game, all professional players are involved in some sort of incident that'll keep them from playing. Burns has to use his old team, however, Strawberry is still standing. Homer is kept on the bench, and with scores tied and bases loaded, Burns sends him in to pitch. The pitch hits Homer in the head and knocks him unconscious which wins them the game.
Since I went to see the Mets play yesterday, I figured this would be appropriate. Plus, Ken Griffey Jr. was on the other team and he's one of the stars in this episode.
GOOD LORD!!! GIGANTISM!
Discuss away!

Well, Mr. Burns had done it.
The power plant had won it.
With Roger Clemens clucking all the while.
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile.
While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the barroom tile.
We're talkin'... Softball.
From Maine to San Diego.
Talkin' softball.
Mattingly and Canseco.
Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw.
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law.
We're talkin' Homer...
Ozzie, and the Straw!

Marge: What makes you think this Darryl Strawberry character is better than you?
Homer: Marge, forget it. He's bigger than me, faster than me, stronger than me, and he already has more friends around the plant than I do.
Bart: You make me sick, Homer. You're the one who told me I could do anything if I just put my mind to it!
Homer: Well, now that you're a little bit older, I can tell you that's a crock! No matter how good you are at something, there's always about a million people better than you.
Bart: Gotcha. Can't win, don't try.

I love Burns making Mattingly shave his side burns.

by far my all time favorite simpsons episode
Take out the "by far" and I agree. I always come up with episodes I think I like better, but everytime I come back to "Homer At The Bat", it immediately jumps back to #1.
Lou: You don't know when to keep your mouth shut, do you, Saxxy Boy?
Classic. Best of the very good third season. 5/5 easily.
agreed-
Umpire: Okay, let's go over the ground rules.
You can't leave first until you chug a beer.
Any man scoring has to chug a beer.
You have to chug a beer at the top of all odd-numbered innings.
Oh, and the fourth inning is the beer inning.
Chief Wiggum: [in baseball uniform] Hey, we know how to play softball.

Hynpotist: You are all very good players...
Team: [entranced] We are all very good players...
Hypnotist: You will beat Shelbyville...
Team: We will beat Shelbyville...
Hypnotist: You will give one hundred and ten percent...
Team: That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Me and a couple of my friends brought this back this year. We started yelling it at basketball games, then everyone started doing it. Most of them didn't even know what it was from.

What's the difference between softball and baseball?
i'm no expert, but:
softball has a larger, softer ball and pitching is always under-hand. if there are other differences, i know them not.
