Profile

Treehouse of Horror XXXI promo 11.png This section mentions content from multiple continuities.
Therefore, it is possible for different information to be correct depending on the episode or season.

The team plays at the Double-A level[1] and is often shown as drastically underfunded and struggling in competition. However, the team has also been shown to play in the Major League.[2] They had a record 26-game losing streak.[3] Their home games are played at the Springfield War Memorial Stadium (which Homer Simpson simply calls "Springfield Stadium"),[3] Duff Stadium,[1] and Isotope Stadium.[4] The Isotopes name is most likely in reference to the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Homer was the Isotopes mascot for a brief period.[3] At various points, the team has been owned by Antoine Tex O'Hara,[3] the mafia,[1] and the Duff Corporation.[1]
