Growing up my childhood heroes were the hometown minor league triple A baseball team the Albuquerque Dukes. They were true patriots of Albuquerque, The Duke City. Our mayor didn't tell anyone they were thinking of moving the team to Portland, Oregon and before we knew it they were gone with the wind and became the Beavers. Here I was a
little kid grown man
yelling crying my eyes out to my mom. Cue years later an episode of The Simpsons aired where Springfield's baseball team, The Springfield Isotopes, moved to Albuquerque. Simpsons did it! so sure enough the power of The Simpsons caused our city to vote to have the name of our new baseball team be the Albuquerque Isotopes instead of The Dukes. I
wanted to bashed my head into my living room wall in disgust. I didn't know what to do...I felt helpless...my team was gone. I looked for spiritual guidance. Like Homer Simpson said "I'm not normally a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me, Superman!” Superman, your country needs you...I need you big man.
Once again I have formulated another
stupid amazing, brilliant plan! I wrote a Simpson's episode script and sent it to the writers of The Simpsons. The episode is an original piece called "The Universe Restored" which is about Springfield's baseball team, The Springfield Dukes, moving the team to Albuquerque. Because the Simpsons did it!....the people of Albuquerque will then want to change the baseball team's name back to the original and rightful name of the Albuquerque Dukes and my world will make since again. Surprisingly I haven't heard anything back about my script yet...
