**Object of the game:** Give the most popular answer for each category. **Rules:** 1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system. 2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below). 3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players. 4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire. 5. The game will end with a maximum of 50 entrants, and I will score it when I have time available. 6. There is no Rule 6. 7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None **Formatting rules:** To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make your post look exactly like this: 1. answer 2. answer 3. answer 4. answer No double spacing, do not use the “list” function, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, NO ASTERISKS, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you want to discuss your answers, do it AFTER THE LIST! If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED. **Scoring:** An answer with a match is worth 2 points. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points. Anyone who responds to a question with two answers will only have the first one counted as their answer. Good luck! If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can. **Read the rules! Special Rules for this particular Feud: None** 1. Give an MLB team name NOT named for a living creature. 2. Besides people, name something you might see in the bullpen. 3. Name a nickname of a popular baseball player. 4. Besides the pitcher, name a position in baseball. 5. Name an MLB team mascot. 6. Name a minor league team. 7. Name a movie about baseball. 8. Name a MLB field or stadium. 9. Name an actor who has portrayed a baseball player. 10. Name a song about baseball or with “baseball” in the lyrics or title. (Besides “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”) ---
