References/Trivia


Cultural references

  • The episode title is a pun on the title of the non-fiction book Moneyball by Michael Lewis.
    • In addition, the plot parodies the rigorously statistics-oriented approach to managing a baseball team, as documented in Moneyball.
  • The announcer refers to the Greek myth of Kronos the Titan, who ate his children when they were born.
  • The opening sequence in which Bart writes all over the classroom walls is similar to the famous scene in the Stanley Kubrick film, The Shinning.

Continuity

Errors

  • Bart says they have been at the amusement park seven hours, yet the Isotot's baseball game is still in the middle of play after all that time, with enough time for them to get to the stadium from the amusement park and still let Bart bat.
  • When Lisa meets Frink, his glasses are thick and white. However, in the next scene, Frink's glasses are thin and black
