During Sunday's game against the Yankees at Wrigley Field, the Cubs' leadoff hitter and left fielder Ian Happ made a catch in the ivy. This catch appeared to recreate an iconic moment from Simpsons episode 'Homer Loves Flanders' (Season 5 Episode 16) which first aired back in March 17, 1994. One of the scenes from the episode turned into a meme in 2010 where Homer is noticed subtly upholding into Ned Flander's fences. This made numerous baseball fans consider whether the Simpsons accurately anticipated Happ's catch.
The specific Simpsons episode didn't accurately foresee the catch in the Wrigley Field, as the setting of the two circumstances was tremendously unique. While Homer was trying to get a ticket to a football game, he made friends with Ned Flanders, whom he initially detested. Later, he continued to annoy the Flanders family by being everywhere at once.
Homer watches out for Ned's family from the fences in the nursery in one of the scenes. At the point when he fears getting found out, he humorously, in one smooth movement, moves once again into the fences. To draw any parallels, Happ's catch in the Ivy was unique and out of context. Nonetheless, one can comprehend the reason why one would think they are indistinguishable.
'Homer at Bat' is quite possibly of the most renowned Simpson episodes, including amazing ballplayers. In this renowned Simpsons episode that circulated on Feb. 20, 1992, Mr. Consumes, a repetitive person on the show, who possesses the Springfield thermal energy station, plans to recruit nine Major League ballplayers. He does this to win the $1 million bet he bets with Mr. Aristotle Amadopolis, proprietor of Shelbyville Plant and their namesake ball club. Wade Boggs, Ken Griffey Jr., Darryl Strawberry, Jose Canseco, Mike Scioscia, Ozzie Smith, Don Mattingly, Steve Sax, and Roger Clemens were the nine baseball players.
Homer Simpson injured himself by a Clemens fastball during a training session, and some way or another the vast majority of the headliners stretch out sidelined individually beyond the game day for odd and bizarre reasons. Eventually, out of the nine, Mattingly and Strawberry come to the game, however, Mr. The Yankees superstar is benched by Burns for failing to shave his sideburns.
While the Springfield thermal energy station group wins uniquely, a case like Wear getting sidelined occurred, in actuality, in 1991, one year before the episode was circulated. Mattingly was benched in one of the games of the 1991 MLB season because he broke Geroge Steinbrenner's rule that the Yankees roster shouldn't have facial hair.
