Knowing Yogi Berra played third base in the final game in Philadelphia A's history paid off.

I pulled a 3 today. Nobody over 0.8



C/AS Jerty Grote 0.4

C/MVP Ernie Lombardi 0.8

C/OUS Ramon Castro 0.5

3B/AS Ken Boyer 0.6

3B/MVP Joe Morgan 0.2

3B/OUS Jose Vizcaino 0.2

CF/AS Enos Slaughter 0.04

CF/MVP Joe Medwick 0.1

CF/OUS Chili Davis 0.1



Helped that I was living in San Francisco in 1982 when Joe Morgan made a big deal about how he could play 3b to get Duane Kuiper's bat in the Giants linneup and Chili Davis was the regular centerfielder. Joe Medwick and Enos Slaughter were lucky guesses.

Fairly easy one for Mets fans, I thought. All 9 of my guesses in the single digits today.



NYY/LAD - Straw 8

NYY/100R - Lou Gehrig 5

Got a 16. Most of it Rey-Rey.



Billy McKinney 0.5 -- Bobby Richardson 1 -- Tony Lazzeri 1

Don Zimmer 0.3 -- Rey Ordonez 10 -- Tommie Agee 2

Sal Maglie 0.1 -- Terry Pendleton 1 -- Ken Boyer 0.2

Rarity = 54, more than 2/3 of it on Pujols cuz I couldn't think of anyone else.



LAD/NYY - Todd Zeile (0.2%)

NYY/GG - Teixeira (5%)

NYY/100R+ - Rizzuto (2%)

NYM/LA - Tommy Davis (0.4%)

NYM/GG - Doug Flynn (1%)

NYM/100R+ - Bernard Gilkey (1%)

StL/LAD = Albert Pujols (37%)

StL/GG - Ken Boyer (1%)

StL/100R+ - Willie McGee (6%)





I try to do these things too fast sometimes (often during lunch) so if I thought it out better I'd have

saved Zeile for LAD/StL and had more choices for NYY/LAD. Maybe that would have come out as a

wash in the end but it sucked being backed into a corner with little time and one guess remaining.

38 score for me.



For 1 Team/OF I went with yesterday's starting RF for the Brewers Jackson Chourio just to see if they were

quick enough on updating their database. They are.



Cavan Bingo is a good pick. I went with papa Craig for 2,000+/OF

Using both would have been cool.

I keep screwing myself over by flying too close to the sun. The rarity score is a bitch.


If I can get the two team combos then I'm generally in good shape. But I just don't know too many guys who played for Tampa, the White Sox, Seattle, really most of the AL teams. If they weren't also Mets or famous players I'm at a loss.

I'm okay with the older AL teams but Tampa Bay, Seattle, etc. are my bete noire.

27 for me.

That 11% on Maddux [GG/HoF] accounted for more than 40% of that, particularly

frustrating as ir was my final guess. I thought I was being clever by putting a pitcher

there. Not as clever as I thought as it turns out.
