―Crowd at the Springfield War Memorial Stadium[[cheering Homer|[src]]]

Homer recalls his brush with fame at Moe's. The family attend a baseball game, held by the power plant, and Mr. Burns sits next to Homer. Homer gets drunk with him, and then excites the crowd by dancing at the front of the stand. The Isotopes then hire Homer as an official mascot, and he is then offered a job as the Capital City mascot - where his routine is a failure and the family move back to Springfield.

Plot

One night at Moe's Tavern, Homer tells the story of how he got (and then lost) his big break...it is Nuclear Plant Employee, Spouses and No More than Three Children Night at the Springfield Isotopes baseball game at Springfield Stadium. At the game, Mr. Burns sits with Homer, taunting the Isotopes, which are expected to lose their 27th consecutive game, reportedly the longest losing streak in professional baseball. But when Homer fires up the crowd to the tune of "Baby Elephant Walk", the Isotopes win a game.

Because of this, Homer is made the Springfield Isotopes mascot, "Dancin' Homer". Thanks to his spirit, the Isotopes win more games until Homer is promoted by The Rich Texan to the team in Capital City.

The Simpsons pack up their things, say goodbye to their friends and move to the big city. Homer is nervous about performing for a larger crowd and sharing the stage with the legendary Capital City Goofball. When it is finally his time to perform, he uses he same antics that had wowed the crowds in Springfield. His first performance is a disaster, boring the crowd, causing them only to applaud once he is led off the field and promptly fired.

Homer sadly finishes regaling his story, only to find that the barflies are still pretty impressed.
