scgaynorThere is an episode in which one of grandpa Simpson's old army buddies is named Asa Brainard. Just like Baseball, there are also alot of hidden scientific jokes on the show too.
One of the show's producers/writers named Donnick Cary used to buy old football programs from me although I have not seem him buying in like 8-9 years. I asked him if he was the one putting in the old baseball references and his reply was something like "I'm not the one that is the old Baseball fan around here" implying that somebody else was but didn't name any names. There is also a John Swarzenwelder (spelled wrong probably) that buys old baseball stuff and a guy with the same name is a writer. I asked him once if he was the same person and he said "no."
