How to use homer in a sentence?

1. Justin Smoak:

   He's been great, from day one, I think everyone was excited to have a guy that just goes out there and do what he does. We know if we can get a few runs up on the board.... After that homer, 4-0 lead, with Price on the mound, you know it's pretty much game over.

2. Don Mattingly:

   There should be one every week, right? we’ve built teams on the three-run homer or strikeout or walk, with not a lot of hits in between.

3. Dr Homer:

   If Dr Homer take that pigment away, then the light can enter the stroma -- the little fibers that look like bicycle spokes in a light eye - and when the light scatters it only reflects back the shortest wavelengths and that's the blue end of the spectrum.

4. William Blake:

   To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason?

5. Keziah Jozefiak:

   When I looked down at Raf I just burst out laughing, i couldnt believe the tan had left his mouth looking like Homer.
