Matt Groening has created a superstar. Th Simpson's is the longest runnung animated show ever, has won too many awards for one cabinet, and continues to be succesful dispite compitition from Family Guy and American Dad.

And, any successful show has cameos.

And, any show with cameo eventually has an athletic cameo.

And, the Simpsons has had many.

As a matter of fact, they hold the world record for celeberty appearences on an animated show!

So, here we go: Count it down until number one.

Here's number 10:

Tom Brady, Lebron James, Michelle Kwan, Yao Ming, and Warren Sapp were all guest stars on one of the most watched Simpsons ever. It aired directly after Superbowl XXXIX.

Thee guests didn't do much, and no video is available.

8: Daryl Strawberry

Lisa: It's okay, mom, they're professional atheletes. This sort of thing rolls right off their backs.

When on a weird behavoir medicine that makes him parinoid, Bart steals a tank from a nearby army base and shoots a satellite out of the sky. Sure enough, the satellites are controlled by Major League Baseball, as Bart thought but America's hero, Mark McGwire, helicopters into Springfield to assure everyone that nothing suspicious is going on.

Funny thing is, there is now a lot of suspicion around McGwire...

-Again, I couldn't find footage-
