Shunned by New York's bachelorette population after handing out one too many gift baskets, Derek Jeter loses his confidence with the fairer sex and retreats to Springfield a broken man. There he finds a kindred spirit in Moe, the only man on Earth lonelier than the heartbroken Captain...The two leave Springfield to start a holistic living clinic in North Haverbrook and are never heard from again. The New Springfield Nine: If Mr. Burns had to re-staff the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball team with a lineup full of present-day players, who should he choose?
Have Cap Anson, Jim O'Rourke, Willie Keeler, Buck Ewing, Ed Delahanty, John McGraw, Jesse Burkett, Roger Connor and Cupid Childs all retired?

Unlike the "New Springfield Nine," the original succeeded so well in part because it wasn't trying to pull in as many recurring Simpsons characters and in-jokes as possible. I was hoping for fates for the new nine (actually seventeen since he also provides a fate for a runner-up suggestion for every position but one) which were a little more creative than "how many Simpsons references can I cram into this article."
