FINAL JEOPARDY!



This US city was the birthplace of future Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Gil Hodges.



Please lock in your question while we play a stress-inducing song.

[Benjamin Grimm]

What is Evansville, Indiana?

[Edgy MD]

OH! I'm sorry! You were in the right neighborhood! We were looking for "What (or Where) is Princeton, Indiana?"! You were, perhaps, thinking of Don Mattingly, which is an ugly thought! We see you've bet $6,000. That takes you down to $3,600.

[Edgy MD]

Imaginary Player #1 had $13,100, let's see what she answered ...



What is Boise, Idaho?



No! I'm sorry. Again, we were looking for Princeton, Indiana. She correctly had an I state, but that won't get her far. Let's see what she wagered.



6,100



That leaves her with $7,000.

[Edgy MD]

Imaginary Player #2 had $10,300, let's see what he answered ...



Where is San Bernadino, California?



No! I'm sorry. Perhaps he was guessing that many great players come from Southern Cal. Perhaps Gil lived there in his LA Dodger days, but again, he was from Princeton, Indiana. Let's he bet



$4,600



That leaves him with $5,500.



IMAGINARY PLAYER #1 IS OUR NEW CHAMP! She goes home with money and prizes and is invited back to compete again tomorrow. The rest of you get the home edition of the game, so you can relive your humiliation on a nightly basis, as well as a one-way ticket to Seawolfenburg! We'll see you tomorrow!

I should probably just stick with getting people to vote on newspaper covers.

[Edgy MD]

You did great! You missed the Final Jeopardy! question by only 28.6 miles!



A straight shot up US 41!

Featuring contestant Sharon Grote!

[MFS62]

Arlene Francis was American, born in Boston.

I was turned off by the intro. She was speaking with a British accent.



Nice find, though.





Later

[Edgy MD]

Skip seemed pretty excited when he realized who Sharon was.

When you're ready to publish the great book on Mets references, I'd like to be your co-editor.



Also, sorry for hijacking this thread with the NOAH quiz.
