To: a little elbow grease

That’s from the “Homer At The Bat” Simpson’s episode from 1992. Definitely one of the best from the entire run of the series. Mr. Burns hires pro baseball players as ringers for a high-stakes softball game against Shelbyville. Said ringers end up in a variety of mishaps: Mike Socia gets radiation poisoning, Steve Sax is arrested for every unsolved crime in Springfield, Ozzie Smith disappears into the Twilight Zone, Wade Boggs is punched unconscious by Barney in a barroom fight over who was England’s greatest prime minister... you get the picture :-)

That sounds pretty entertaining and funny.

I never watched the Simpsons back then. I operated a (plant) propagating nursery, and was working at least eighty hours a week, seven days a week. It was a labor of love.

Work, eat, sleep, .... work, eat, sleep, etc., etc.

ps -- I'm a little surprised they didn't work in a chicken dinner angle in the Boggs episode, given that it was said that he insisted on eating chicken before every game. ;-)
