Yow - I’m gonna have to pass on this one. I love to watch baseball, but not being one to follow players…

That and my answer to number one was Charlie Brown, and number three was Sam Malone.

    Hey, every feud needs an anchorman! (IOW, I actively avoid baseball, and have almost no clue.)

  11. I think he worked at different times as both a player and a manager. This is actually one of the answers I think I might get matches for.

      1. and 10. Yaz did everything! (Okay, he’s a player I can name. This is a more limiting factor than many people in the feud might believe.)

  13. Conch

  14. It’s a lucky charm, see. :stuck_out_tongue:
    ETA: I remember, now, one reason why being a phonetic speller in the 80s in MA was such a trial. Our junior Senator was Paul Tsongas, Yaz was in the news all the time, and people kept expecting us to be able to spell their names. :frowning:

I can’t freaking believe you went with Taguchi. I wanted to–it was the only one that immediately came to mind, and he gets in frequently for the Phils–but I thought that no one else would go for it. (Don’t ask me why I thought that Abraham Nunez was a better pick–I guess because I figured there’d be more Mets fans that might bite.)

I’d better sit this one out–I know so little that I’d have to “cheat” to be able to play. Heh.

Thanks for doing em though, to all involved, esp. Delores Reborn.

  11. Being from Cleveland, I wanted to say Lou Boudreau, but Pete is more recent and well-known.

  12. Although he’s most remembered for not being inserted in Bill Buckner’s place during that World Series game in 1986…

  13. One of several questions that will probably not have a “conch” answer – I watch a lot of Cubs games, so Mark’s the most prominent in my mind at this point.

  14. Played 105 MLB games without ever batting or taking a defensive position.

Aww… come on! I need some competition for the anchorman(woman?) slot!
