The '''[[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball team]]''' represents [[Mr. Burns]]' [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|nuclear plant]] in the city softball league. In 1991, the team had an abysmal record and many of the players decided to quit. However, the next year, [[Homer]] convinces [[Lenny]], [[Carl]] and [[Charlie (SNPP)|Charlie]] that he has a secret weapon, and they all return. In their opening game against the [[Springfield Police Department]], the Power Plant was down 5-2 in the ninth with bases loaded. Homer went up to bat and revealed his secret weapon - his [[Wonder Bat]] - to his team mates. They ridicule him, but Homer manages to hit a home run, and wins the game. The team goes on a hot streak, picking up wins against [[East Springfield]], [[Fort Springfield]] (by a score of at least 33-7) and [[Springfield Heights]], thanks largely to Homer and his bat.

Lenny Leonard.png

Lenford "Lenny" Leonard is the best friend of Carl Carlson and, along with Carl, second best friend of Homer Simpson, behind Barney Gumble. He works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and possesses a master's degree in nuclear physics, but he is portrayed as a simple, often naive, blue-collar working man.

Despite being shown in the First Church of Springfield, Lenny is a Buddhist. Born in Chicago, he is also a war hero and a three-time juror. His grandmother spent 20 years in a Soviet labour camp, hinting that Lenny may have ancestors from the former Soviet Union, or have ancestors who were POWs. Lenny was a member of the Springfield chapter of the Stonecutters secret society (Number 12, outranking Mr. Burns) [1]. Lenny seems to have little regard for his own life: "Quick and pointless, that's the death for me" [2]. Another example of his apathy towards salvation is that he shrugs after being pulled from a ladder which would have seen him and Homer to safety.
