It’s been 25 years since Springfield power plant executive C. Montgomery Burns concocted a ruse to win a corporate softball championship by hiring major league baseball players.

It’s almost time for another World Baseball Classic. Blah, blah, blah.

It’s not about the money — it’s about the boredom.

After a full offseason of rest, the 2015 AL Cy Young winner is ready to dive into 2017 — just like he dove into the icy waters of Antarctica to swim with the polar bears. Wait, what?

If you’re gonna play baseball where “Major League” was filmed, you might as well take advantage.

Not to make light of a potentially horrible thing, but Flynn’s descent through the barn air joins a hallowed list of other freak springtime incidents that left us scratching our heads.

Even though we won’t see real games for more than six weeks, it’s never too early for a bunch of wild predictions for the upcoming season.

Not all heroes wear capes.

For all the changes MLB has proposed lately, it continues to ignore the one that would make the most sense.

So what if games are slow? This isn’t a crisis. This is just baseball.
