George Bell. (1987, Toronto Blue Jays)

Were you alive in the 20th century?

Did you have an alter ego named Chris Gaines?

Did you play first base for the Dodgers? (I’m not thinking of either of the baseball players already mentioned in the thread.)

Yes I was alive in the 20th century, with an unspoken caveat.

No, I’m not Garth Brooks.

As a life long Dodger fan, I’m embarrassed I don’t know this one. I’m a pretty mediocre fan though, and this does not surprise me. Ask a DQ.

Are you the oldest member of a three-generation major league baseball family?

No good vibes here, ask a DQ.

Here’s my Q: Did you contemplate suicide over a missing $8,000?

Gus Bell. (Father of Buddy Bell, grandfather of Mike and David Bell.)

Did you appear on TV?

Were you ever Attorney General of the United States?

Gary Burton. (If I get a chance to ask another question, I promise it won’t be another Gary.)

Are you a fictional character?

No. I’m not George Bailey. Good one, though.

Yes, I’ve appeared on TV.

Good one, no I didn’t know who that was til I googled it. The name rings a bell. Ask a DQ.

Yes! This is why I was conditionally and fictionally alive in the 20th century.
