SF GIANTS WORLD SERIES CHAMPS 2016 BABY! WWWOOOOOOOHHH!
I would play the shit out of this.

Not the last panel, obviously, but the new MLB the Show does include a Conquest Mode in which you attempt to take over a hex-based map of North America using your fans as units (more or less).
Steam: pazython
It could be like Civilization, and each faction is represented by a "greatest hits" list of iconic leaders and members.
"YES! We've defeated you for all time! You will never rise from the ashes of your shame and humilation!
...well, that was fun"

...or just the Seattle team. Whatever.
And I had no idea the Mariners were owned by NoA. Does Safeco have Wii U/3DS kiosks throughout the concourse? Are there Smash Bros tournaments on the jumbotron? So many questions.
It is, indeed, quite bizarre. And pretty cool.
This is like the mode in Madden where you can improve the bathrooms (Oakland really needs it...) and snack bars in your stadiums (to the point of setting prices on nachos).
just like, what is this
who came up with this
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
Don't worry, Ken Griffey Jr. is one of the few baseball players we know outside of America. Him and Darryl Strawberry, Steve Sax, Wade Boggs, José Canseco, Mike Scioscia, Roger Clemens, Don Mattingly and Ozzie Smith.
I guess the only other baseball player anyone outside of America would know is Babe Ruth?
Since I know them, those must be all the ones in that Simpsons episode.
I also know Hank Aaron from Futurama.

Japan, Latin America, the Caribbean. There are probably others I'm unaware of.

Not soccer, which lasts for 90 minutes.
And don't Baseball teams often play two full games in a day? Do any other sports do that?
but if it's a tournament, there could be extra time and penalties, so a tedious, non-scoring game could easily go well over 2 hours ... although I suppose at least one penalty has to be scored eventually....
I don't mind football in general, but when two mediocre teams who couldn't even score in a brothel play out a grimly un-entertaining match, the tedium quotient approaches that of cricket, which can go on for 5 days...
And the scheduled double games went into extra innings. Those poor teams ended up playing something like 32 innings of baseball in one day.
Also, there are 90 minutes of actual soccer in a soccer game! Whereas in 3 hours there is only actually 4 minutes of baseball.

Do other sports have the entire team mostly standing in place for the majority of the game?
cricket? AND it lasts for five days (if you ignore the new-fangled one-day and 20-20 stuff...)
American Football. That is ~17 minutes of action in 2+ hours (I'm not being sarcastic, that is literally how much action the game has).
That's at least explainable by all the people involved having sustained repeated head trauma. Baseball has no such excuse.
No, but that describes the fans.
(but I can't remember his name--and I'm really only assuming it was a him, because of the time-frame.).
