Thanks for that Kyle. Simpsons' fans consider that to be one of the all-time great episodes. I recall Mr. Burns earlier asking Smithers to dig up Cap Anson and Honus Wagner for the team. Smithers tells him they've been dead for a hundred years, to which Burns replies he remembers when he asked Smithers to dig up Charlie Chaplin, "and he didn't smell so good at that" (of course some may remember that Charlie Chaplin's body was once actually stolen from its burial plot).

Just checked my Simpsons bible and Burns also asked for "Three Finger" Mordecai Brown, but no reference to Charlie Chaplin. Maybe I'm confusing episodes. Oh well.
