OT: Baseball Trivia at Noon today

[brett05]

It's an old Senator then, but I wouldn't have a clue without looking that up.

I have to admit, I know this player well. Yet somehow was absolutely clueless on the team he's known for.

I'll give the answer in a bit.

Walter Johnson

This former White Sox and MVP winner has no connection to Redford. He is a franchise leader. He is also credited with putting Upper Deck on the map. He is?

Ken Griffey Jr. The most beautiful swing the baseball world has ever seen

 

[brett05]

He has written over 30 books and owns three minor league teams. He is?

I would guess either George Plimpton or Stephen King. Just a guess. I have no idea.

Oh you know this one. It's your turn Parade_Rain. Finally it's your turn! "Avenge" yourself.

Stan Lee

LOL

Are comic books now considered books at Illinois these days?

The only guy that comes to mind was the guy that used to own the 76ers in the NBA (maybe he still does?). He wrote a few books but I don't recall him being an owner of a baseball team or teams. I can't think of his name....I'm thinking Paul something. It's wrong anyway....

When someone gives me the "Avenge" clue, it's either Stan Lee or the Rickman's character from Galaxy Quest..."By Grabthar's hammer I shall avenge you!"

GMAB! I already posted up Plimpton and King. It can't be Clancy. Highly doubtful it's Jonathan Kellerman.

Weird. Cal Jr.

But Khan was highly intelligent...he'd be too smart to own a minor league baseball team. You know what....my guess is Ricardo Montalbán.

Iron Man - Cal Ripken Jr it is. Parade_Rain, it was your chance to finally give him as the correct answer.

OK, how about an easy one? I bet you can get it. He is?

I hadn't thought about Cal as an author of 30+ books.

How about Ted Williams for that easy one?

We got Ted Williams already. He was the manager that was 91 games under .500.

i BET you can get him with a second guess.

What is the question? "How about an easy one" doesn't seem like much of a clue to me.

Let me be clearer. The clue is: I BET you get the next one.
