The Game Room
101

  1. Tenzing Norghay
    Gurka, accompanied Sir Edmund Hilary to Mt Everest

  2. Buddy Blattner
    Big Band Leader??

  3. John L. Lewis
    Long time head of the United Mine Workers

  5. Patty Deutsch
    Adenoidal actress, did commercials in 1970s

  6. Michael DeBakey

  7. Carl Icahn
    Corporate raider; hope he lost a lot of money when Blockbuster fell

102

I’ll say Ole Olsen again. It’s bound to be right eventually.

Patty Deutsch, Doris Day.

Walker Smith, I believe, was Sugar Ray Robinson, of 289 W 238th Street, the Bronx (now a parking lot).

ETA: Oh, Deutsch has been answered. Either I’m wrong, then, or 5-time is trying to highlight some of the less celebrated aspects of Ms. Deutsch’s career.

103

New Zealand mystery writer.

104

Tenzing Norkhay was the Sherpa who accompanied Hillary on his climb.

Buddy Blattner shared the mike for Angel games on the radio (KMPC-710 AM), in the early years; he was soon, mercifully, replaced by Dick Enberg. :slight_smile:

105

That last post should haver read that Blattner shared the mike with Don Wells.

106

Should I reveal who Einar Gustafson was? (#86)

107

Go ahead.

Asgeir Asgeirsson was a president of Iceland.

108

Einar Gustafson was the “Jimmy” in Jimmy Fund.

109

D’oh yeah, I guess a sherpa would be a much better mountain climber than a Gurkha.

Can’t recall Doris Day’s real name at the moment, but Patty Deutsch did commercials and appeared on game shows. She had a very nasally voice that she described as “sounding like a 14 year old boy with problems.”

And Jules Blattner is a local St Louis musician, played with Chuck Berry. But never quite made the big time.

And
44. Auguste Rene Chouteau was one of the founders of the City of St Louis, which recently celebrated the 250th anniversary of its founding.

114

Doris Day was born Doris von Kappelhoff.

Conrad Janis is a stage actor who appeared in the play “Same Time Next Year?” with Joyce Van Patten.
Boibby Troup was a bandleader, who married Julie London; he also appeared as Dr. Joe Early in* Emergency!,* produced by Jack Webb, who was also married to Julie London (not at the same time!)

To Colibiri:
Louis Sockalexis was the first “native American” (Penobscot) to play major-league baseball. He discovered whiskey, however, and faded after a few years.
“Dummy” Hoy was the first deaf-mute to play in the majors; some say the umpire’s custom of raising the right arm to signal a strike originated when Hoy, who could not hear, requested that the umpire give a visible signal.
“Chief” Bender, a Mission Indian, pitched for Connie Mack’s A’s from about 1904 to 1914, when he jumped to the Federal League.
