Yeah, I realized that a minute after I posted it, and was looking for an alternative to change it to, but you beat me to it. 🙂 Longoria Gary and Mark ---

> [@gnarator](#): > > See [Baseball vs. Everything else - #2 by TriPolar](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/baseball-vs-everything-else/983467/2) May I suggest doing a preliminary search of the last name before posting? I’ve repeated some posts myself, so I know how easy it is to forget who posted what last week. ---

Not a bad idea. I’ve done it a few times; it’s been pretty active. ---

Weaver (?) I think there’s a Dennis Weaver. An actor, maybe? If I’m wrong I apologize. As I’ve said a lot of these “other people” are not familiar to me at all, so when a name sounds vaguely reminiscent of something I jump on it. And if I’m wrong you can ignore the following: Downtown Ollie and Georgia ---

Brown (didn’t he have a good arm?) Van Lingle and Ray (sorry, I had to!) You are correct; Dennis weaver was Sam McCloud on _McCloud_ ---

Okay! Not a show I thought I was familiar with, but it must have gotten in the brain somehow! Thanks. yes, Downtown Ollie Brown was known for his arm. Not a terrible hitter, but not good enough to have a long career as a regular. ---

Must be Mungo! Though “Ray Mungo” is not familiar, can’t imagine there were two “Van Lingles” in MLB. Tony and Utah ---
