Mr. Burns' Ringers
Posted By: Jodi Birkholm
I misssed the Creighton reference, too, even in the lineup posted here today! Sorry, I would have realized the accuracy of Smithers' quote if I would have just paid more attention! Isn't it funny that someone like Creighton was even mentioned on TV? Thaat may in fact be the "Most obscure. Simpsons joke. EVER!"!!! Somebody on their staff really knows their baseball. I believe Creighton is considered to be baseball's first "superstar"--at least that's what I have read. Has anyone seen that gaudy headstone that his teammates purchased for him? It's in Brooklyn, so I'm sure Barry has passed by it before! The copper really didn't age well! There's a pic of it at my buddy Frank Russo's site, www.thedeadballera.com. Best. Website. EVER!
