It’s me when I was a kid. 🙂 But I still don’t know why _Centerfield_ didn’t come to mind first; I hear that one almost every time I go to Greer Stadium. :smack: ---

> [@Labtrash](#): > > Did anyone else pick the Toledo Mudhens because of Klinger on M_A_S\*H ?? I did. I wavered on going with the Albequerque Isotopes since this board is nerdy like that, but figured the Mudhens would be a little more popular. ---
