I can't find a way to make a riddle pun out of this oddity, but did you ever notice that the one player who has admitted using LSD during a game (with excellent results) is actually named "Ellis, D."?

[Theoldmole]

What ex-Met catcher would always come up short at Yahtzee?

[Theoldmole]

A 3Baseman? Then you can't be thinking of Barry Lyon.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Wish I knew Yahtzee rules.

No, it wasn't a Lyon. The incident made all the papers and TV news for a week or two there, though.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That would be Brook Four Dice.

Crisp Ensign.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

There, that wasn't so hard, was it?

The Las Vegas illusionist one is rather clever, if I say so myself.

Although the problem may be my wording. I'm not sure if the guy who got mauled in Las Veagas last year is actually an illusionist. Let's say he was part of a famous duo training dangerous jungle cats.

And it's Willets, by a nose. I guess that "illusionist" stuff threw yuz off. Sorry.

[Valadius]

More riddles - I think we have all but two.

[Willets Point]

Actually I figured it out before I saw your clue. "Las Vegas Illusionist" in Google pull's up Roy Horn and the tiger several times. I had to go to UMDB to find a Met named Roy.
