Goofs
Bleeding Gums Murphy's singing voice sounds nothing like any other time he's heard singing. He also looks significantly different than he did in any other episodes.

Confused by feelings of respect

Homer tells the story of his time as a baseball mascot.

This is a strong episode with great character moments for Homer.

Who doesn't love a rise and fall story? The concept alone is funny and that's without the consistent humour found in the dialogue and visuals.

I like the homage to 'Pride of the Yankees' and love the Simpsons' hilarious drive around the Capital City. However, my favourite moment is the sequence of goodbyes the family make before uprooting.
