The Simpsons has its fair share of classic episodes, and surely "Homer At The Bat" would be up there with the most memorable.

With its enviable list of baseball royalty and highly quotable moments, it's the perfect subject for a mockumentary, which has been titled Springfield of Dreams: The Legend of Homer Simpson.

The hour-long special set to air on Sunday is produced by Fox Sports and Major League Baseball, featuring Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me fame as the director, according to EW.

It'll be a satirical take on Ken Burns' 1994 miniseries Baseball, with the mockumentary featuring sportscasters like Joe Buck, as well as the players who appear in the episode such as Wade Boggs, Steve Sox and Jose Canseco.

The mockumentary will also feature interviews with The Simpsons characters themselves, including Carl, Comic Book Guy, and Homer.

Sure, the show isn't as good as it was back in the '90s, but eh, maybe this mockumentary won't be half bad. After all, it can't be as terrible as "All Singing, All Dancing."
