Sorry for all the conch-ish questions, folks. Something for me to think about for my next Feud (this was my first one). Thank you, **Rebo** , for accepting it! 🙂 18th in my own Feud, not so bad. Would have been better if I hadn’t gone with my Brewer fan roots (bratwurst and Bob Uecker). ---

12th is good, but I am disappointed I did not do better in a baseball one. I got 8 of 10 1sts but it looks like the other 2 were 2nds. This was a fun one. I am glad I did not use “Pride of the Yankees” for the baseball movie. I’m glad someone said Phil Rizzuto, he was the first one I thought of but I figured no one else would vote for him. Scooter was awesome.
