I’ll start by giving a brief series of MLB players’ names, and your job (initially) is to guess the thing they have in common that I’m thinking of. They make have other things in common, perhaps many other things, but you must supply the one I’m thinking of. If you guess right, you win that round, and you get to suggest the next series of names. If you guess wrong, then I have to add another name to my list. When I’ve reached the fullest listing I can think of (not necessarily the fullest listing possible), then you get to guess until you get it right. The right answer might be statistical, it might be biographical, it might be any common link these men have in common with each other.
For example, say I pick Henry Aaron and Willie McCovey. You might guess, “powerful hitters in the 1960s” and I’ll answer “Wrong” (although they certainly fit your answer, but that’s not what I was thinking of) and I’ll add “Reggie Jackson” and someone else then guesses “sluggers who wore the number 44,” and I’ll go “right,” and then that person gets to start another series of names. Okay?
All correct, all not what I’m thinking of. For the two guesses (I’m not counting Cliff Clavin’s as a serious guess), I’ll add Al Simmons and Greg Luzinski.
