Please ask all earned “Are you Firstname Lastname?” questions by noon EDST tomorrow. Thanks!
Don’t know if this guy played baseball or football (or for that matter, if he matches all of the DQ answers), but he’s the only ‘B’ ball player I can think of, so…
DQ: Are you Johnny Bench?
Good guess! Though I think Bench is still alive, at least I don’t remember an obit for him…
Though probably the second best catcher in baseball history matches the DQs:
Are you Yogi Berra?
That’s a very good guess, SunUp. I think you probably have it.
If not, then…
Are you Ernie Banks?
What does Ernie Banks have named after him? I think @SunUp’s got it, and the answer to DQ 13 is Yogi Bear.
Just the phrase, “Hey, Ernie, let’s play two!” I’m pretty sure it’s Yogi, though.
Good guesses! However, I am none of those fine players but am, rather, the lyrically-named
Vida Blue
Never made it to the HOF, but probably should have (and may yet). For more: Vida Blue - Wikipedia
Oh, well, yeah, I have heard of Vida Blue. Repeatedly, in the 70s.
I didn’t see it in Wiki, so what was named after him?
Oh, and very nice choice, EH!
IQs:
- Did you write The Vampire: Its Kith and Kin?
- Did John Astin play you as a villainous comic antihero in a made-for-TV movie?
- Were you the first man to appear on the cover of Playboy?
