Bob becomes amazed when he finds out his baseball hero, Torpedo Jones (Robert Ben Garant) is playing for The Wonderdogs.
Bob witnessed his infamous pitch fifteen years ago but Torpedo is now hitting rock bottom.
Later at Bob's Burgers, Tina asks Torpedo for a job with the team as a way to butt-slap with the handsome players, and gets hired.
He also reveals that he is using support beams from the rollercoaster to prop up the stadium seats and that the Wonderdog games are rigged.
After trying to convince Torpedo not to cheat, Bob reveals that he is his and Gene's role model, but Torpedo plays up a lie originally created by Louise that he can't be his role model due to him being the same age as Bob.
After explaining his methods of cheating, Torpedo tells Bob to "pick an old guy" as a role model.
The episode ends with Tina trying to keep a jock strap that belongs to a handsome Cuban player named Angel (David Herman) from Linda.
In its original American broadcasting, "Torpedo" was viewed by an estimated 4.31 million viewers and received a 2.1 rating/6% share among adults between the ages of 18 and 49, a drop from last episode.
