He’s lucky. Originally, Boggs was going to get into a belching contest with Barney, and the producers were so impressed with his eructations they were going to use them as the generic Springfield burp in future episodes. What a legacy he could have had.
Supposedly this only exists because he was the only one who wasn't able to laugh at himself and refused to record whatever the original scene was as it didn't portray him positively enough, so the writers came up with this idea as a last minute replacement. A happy accident if that's true, because it makes me laugh like a drain every time. "...The dryer goes on the right."

Very fitting for a man whose entire rise to fame was based on a lie… Should’ve gone the way of his contemporary in McGuire and just kept his mouth zipped as long as possible.
It was a huge deal when it first aired. I thought it was the best episode as well until the Beer Baron episode came out. "Beer, the cause of, and solution to all of Man's problems."
The idea of Ken Griffey Jr taking a performance enhancer is the kind of joke that only got better with age strictly in an ironic sense, given he has a pretty clean record from the steroids era and openly said the reaosn why was he didnt wanna be seen as a cheater.
Based on the Wade Boggs/Barney Gumble scene. I wonder in an alternate universe you'll see two Cricketers arguing about who was United States' Great President was: James K. Polk or Rutherford B Hayes?
Steve Sax: arrested by Springfield PD officers Lou & Eddie for a crime he didn't commit, murder of a man in New York City, later cleared of it after the events of this episode cause Springfield PD is run by idoits., also the Springfield PD held a grudge against the Nuclear Power Plant after losing to them in a softball game. Mike Scioscia: got acute radiation poisoning from working at the nuclear power plant, but recovered to become the Angels manager and won the 2002 World Series. Ken Griffey Jr: got Gigantism from drinking way too much nerve tonic, but recovered enough to continue his career and retired in 2010 at 40 years old. Jose Conseco: was too busy saving everything from a burning house, after he was done, he went on to continue abusing steroids and ended up testifying in 2005 to congress about the abuse of it for performance enhancing in baseball. Wade Boggs: KO'd by Barney over a augment on who was a better English prime minister, he retired from baseball in 1999 as a member of the Tampa Bay Rays (then Devil Rays). Ozzie Smith: Fell in the mystery hole, the Mystery Hole ended up sending him back to St. Louis at the end of a potal, went on to finish his MLB career in 1996. Don Mattingly: fired for refusing to "Shave off the sideburns" (that didn't exist), i assume Burns meant his mustache, continued playing for the Yankees until he retired from playing in 1995, went on to manage the Dodgers from 2011-2015 and currently the manager of the the Marlins. Roger Clements: hypnotized into a chicken, however, he was since unhypnotized and went on to play until 2007, where he retired as a New York Yankees pitcher, also alleged to fuck a teenage Mindy McCready in the late 90s, sadly she passed away in 2013 at 37 from suicide by gunshot to the head a month after her boyfriend and the baby daddy of her child died in a mysterious way. bonus: Daryl Strawberry: taunted by Bart and Lisa who wanted their dad "Home Run Homer" in, he cries, later he was pulled from the game after getting the taunt out of his head, he went on to play until he retired in 1999, also he developed a addiction to crack cocaine and sex itself and later became a born again Christian.
Of the 9 players I say Steve Sax really got the short end of the stick the most. He was very cooperative with the police, but they copped an attitude against him from the start and never eased up. I hope Sax sued the hell out of Wiggum and the rest of Springfield's police department once he was freed.
Fun fact: nearly four years before this episode, Wade Boggs guest-starred on “Cheers.” The main reason he agreed to appear in that episode was because he had a mistress who lived in Anaheim, California. He took advantage of having a free trip to CA and took two days off from spring training. Also, Darryl Strawberry was known for picking up mistresses in the stands while in the dugout and then gettin’ his rocks off before going back on the field. I suppose both of those facts were exaggerated due to the stereotype of athletes. So I would take both of those with a grain of salt.
My baby. Don't worry, it'll be fine. I'll do whatever it takes. I promise it'll be fine. My cat. Eh well ok. Not really worth the risk but fine. My player piano. Goodbye.
originally sideburns (from the American Civil War, look up Ambrose Burnside for whom the facial hair is named) were a sort of handlebar moustache that connected to a pair of muttonchops leaving the chin bare. burns being old as shit used the old as shit definition. he was telling him to trim his moustache.
I like how most of them are just going around in their softball uniforms 24/7
Mattingly has normal clothes 2:00 when Burns scorns him
Comments starting "I like how" shouldn't be made
@@Snookbone I like how I don't give a shit what you think.

Wade Boggs says he gets more questions about this scene than his baseball career.
As a baseball fan, that makes me happy
He’s lucky. Originally, Boggs was going to get into a belching contest with Barney, and the producers were so impressed with his eructations they were going to use them as the generic Springfield burp in future episodes. What a legacy he could have had.

@@Kingbarthon
Time to drink 50 beers to honour his memory.
I always loved how only 7 mishaps actually happened but then Burns instigated the next two.
So, Burns was right. The chance of nine separate misfortunes was statistically impossible.
unlikely, the word you want is unlikely
Strawberry was still fine.
Seven, there's an outside chance.
Brilliance, sheer Swartzwelder brilliance!
Mattingly too
I like how the fire department never even shows up at that burning house.
Guess there busy in the game
Welcome to Springfield.
Not to metion its still burning next moring, and not burned to the ground
Austerity measures are real
*Springfield, USA!*
They trimmed the part where Mattingly says "Still better then working for Steinbrenner"
I missed the part where that's my problem.
@@JacquesMesrine94 Get bent, Parker!
_Trimmed,_ you say?
You mean the guy who sounds like Larry David?
Jose Conseco going into the burning bulding again and again is one of the greatest Simpsons jokes

@@nixonradio They wanted him to wake up in bed with Mrs. Krabappel.

@@K-o-R yes ma’am
Ozzie Smith's confident "wow, one please" makes me laugh just as hard now as it did when I first saw it
So does me reading the "Springfield Mystery Spot" sign.
In the 700th-episode intro, he was on the billboard as still missing.
8 Misfortunes

You gotta give Simpsons credit. They manage to make fun of these characters WITHOUT making them look like a jackasses.
II did hear that the writers didn’t like Canseco because he was really arrogant and rude to them and made weird demands.

I can never decide which gag is funnier: Mattingly's sideburns or Boggs getting belted by Barney.

Sax’s arrest was likely payback from the police department for their softball game loss to the power plant team at the start of the episode
this is by far the best Simpsons episode ever made IMO, love the song at the end credits too!
It was a huge deal when it first aired. I thought it was the best episode as well until the Beer Baron episode came out. "Beer, the cause of, and solution to all of Man's problems."
Greatest team picture ever
@@throwoutable Their opponents must have been a pretty amazing softball team to make it this close with Strawberry still on Burn's team.
in the top 10 for sure
In all fairness, Conseco could’ve easily avoided his mishap.
And let the piano burn?!?
@@nickwood8762 i would’ve, for a chance at the company softball game
So couldn't mattingly if he'd just trimmed his sideburns
Save the baby and the cat everything else can burn

If Burns knew what sideburns were there would have been 7.
Jose Canseco is a truly great man.

It’s a shame he died

Mr Burns has only himself to blame for Don Mattingly's "misfortune."
as a kid who grew up watching baseball in the 90s, i can only say how funny is was THEN pales in comparison to how funny it is NOW

Based on the Wade Boggs/Barney Gumble scene. I wonder in an alternate universe you'll see two Cricketers arguing about who was United States' Great President was: James K. Polk or Rutherford B Hayes?
So, Lord Palmerston and Pete the Elder are lesser known prime ministers?
It's a good thing Canseco had all those steroids to help him get all that stuff out of there.
Wade Boggs at the bar 😂
Laid unconscious on the barroom tile.
Strawberrys mishap was not getting his 10th home run because Burns wanted the match-up.
I wouldn't really count that as one seeing as he did get to play.

A jose conseco bat, tell me you didn't spend money on this!?
I love that movie
There were 9 players. The only one nothing happened to was Daryl Strawberry.
But Burns did end up switching him out for Homer.
