I voted Hawkeye Pierce, because that was the first thing I thought of, but I’m also surprised that the sports device hasn’t been voted for more. Is it used in any American sports? I know it from the cricket.
Someone with keen eyesight, with CPT Pierce a close second, followed by the first four on the list in no particular order. The rest of the suggestions I’ve never even heard of.
Last of the Mohicans was the only book his father read.
I think it was my thread on Hawkeye being fallible which cause this poll, but my answer would have been MAS*H as well until a couple of years ago. These days its the tech.
Looking at the wiki page for Hawk-Eye, it seems that it is used in Cricket (for which it was originally developed), Association Football and Tennis. Not so much in American sports.
Incidentally, its named for its chief inventor, a chap by the name of Dr Hawkins.
In this order:
A character from MASH
A character from Last of the Mohicans
Iowa
First thought was the TV show MASH followed closely by the The Last of the Mohicans. I had to read the thread to see other options, most of which were unknown to me.
