DQ1: Were you an inventor?
DQ2: Were you born West of the Mississippi?
DQ3: Did you die within the past 20 years?

Yes! I am synthesizer pioneer Robert Moog.
Good job astorian, and thanks to all the players!
Way to go, astorian! If you hadn’t guessed Moog, I might have… it felt like we were closing in on him.

[IQ’s:
Did you play center field for the Boston Red Sox?
Did you often sing The Spar-Spangled Banner before games at Yankee Stadium?
[/QUOTE]
Well, to the best of my knowledge, nobody’s ever sung The Spar-Spangled Banner at Yanke Stadium or anywhere else. :o
The anthem singer I had in mind was Robert Merrill, while the center fielder who likely heard Merrill’s rendition of Francis Scott Key’s lyrics on a few occasions was Rick Miller.
It can truly be said that astorian did a good job of synthesizing the information revealed by our DQ’s to arrive at the correct answer!
