RBI/Simpsons

[ultimate7]

I was just thinking about the Simpson's Softball episode, amazing number of RBIers on it, can you name them?

Hints 7 of 9 are RBIers,
1 Arcade Only
1 NES Only
5 are amalingly in both

Of the other 2, 1 is an RBI relative.

If you take the original song by Terry Cashman (Talkin' Baseball - Willie, Mickey and the Duke) - here are all the RBI'ers in the song as well:

Pretty impressive, especially if you consider how few teams there are in RBI, and many of the players that aren't in RBI did actually play for the arcade teams!

Mr. Burns: The pitcher's a lefty, strawberry is a lefty. The percentages favor me hitting a righty. Strawberry! hit the showers. Simpson, yer in.

Homer: woo hoo!!

darryl: but coach, i have 7 homers today.

Burns: and for that you get a pat on the back.

my brothers and a few cousins actually had a discussion at a 4th july party and settled on that being the best simpson episode.
