Superfluous? Do you not see how all those cards are 1990 editions or as close as can be? How about how the musicians, when possible are representated by their most recent release as of spring 1990? Do you not see?

It's fucking brilliant!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

OK, here are my guesses. I omitted the correct answers. Viola is a good Long Islander, so I guessed he'd like Chapin.

1 Blaine Beatty -- Glenn Frey
3 David Cone -- Elton John
4 Ron Darling -- Chicago
6 John Franco -- Springsteen
7 Dwight Gooden -- Jackson 5
9 Jeff Innis -- Jim Morrison
10 Gregg Jeffferies -- Elvis Presley
12 Phil Lombardi -- Whitney Houston
13 Barry Lyons -- Lionel Ritchie
15 Dave Magadan -- Phil Collins
17 Orlando Mercado -- Commodores
18 Keith Miller -- Randy Travis
19 Jeff Musselman -- Paula Abdul
20 Tom O'Malley -- Elton John
21 Bob Ojeda -- Neil Diamond
22 Alejandro Pe�a -- Temptations
23 Mackey Sasser -- Cars
24 Darryl Strawberry -- Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul
25 Lou Thornton -- Patti LaBelle, Freddie Jackson
26 Tim Teufel -- Boxcar Willie
27 Frank Viola -- Harry Chapin
28 Wally Whitehurst -- 10,000 Maniacs

Michigan nails Jefferies and Straw.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I think I read somewhere that Jefferies was an Elvis fanatic. And I figured Straw to be a ladies man.....

[Guest AG/DC]

O'Malley doing a Seaver imitation here:

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Guess I'll go Franco Springsteen and Innis, Cars.

[Guest AG/DC]

Wrong on Franco. But correct on Innis.

And so our table gets augmented with an image of the cover of the Cars 1987 release, Door to Door --- a forgettable offering to most but a favorite of the I-Man.

OK, 3rd time up.

Doc = Commodores
Miller = Elton John
Lombardi = Boxcar Willie
Lyons = Travis
Musselman = Morrison
O'Malley = Springsteen
Ojeda = Temptations

[HahnSolo]

Second try, and I can't possibly go through all of them. I am dying to find out who loves Glen Frey solo.

Viola - Glen Frey
Whitehurst - Randy Travis
Thornton - Commodores
O'Malley - Morrison
Teufel - Springsteen

[Guest AG/DC]

Correct!

But not on this one!

Holy shit! No!

Yii! No!

Get back, Honkey Cat! No!

Heavens, no!

Forever and ever, no!

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Musselman = Morrison

If I said yes, I would be a liar.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: O'Malley = Springsteen

Raise your hand! This one is correct!

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Ojeda = Temptations

Psychedelic shack, get back! Your winning streak ends at one.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Pena = Richie

Say tu, say yo. Say it together, Alejandro. Very good here. Back on a winning ride.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Sasser = Chicago

Does anybody care? Not Mackey.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Whitehurst = Neil Diamond

You don't bring me correct answers anymore. Three of 13 for you.

="Hahn Solo"]Viola - Glen Frey

Wrong! The heat is officially on!

="Hahn Solo"]Whitehurst - Randy Travis

Wrong as the day is long.

="Hahn Solo"]Thornton - Commodores

No play for Mr. Gray.

="Hahn Solo"]O'Malley - Morrison

As noted above, O'Malley is with the Boss

="Hahn Solo"]Teufel - Springsteen

And Teufel ain't.

That's an oh-for-five for the Solonator.

O'Malley has Springsteen, apparently.

Lou Thornton and The Commodores.

Frank Viola and Jim Morrison.

[Guest AG/DC]

Thanks for the help on O'Malley. Wrong on Thornton and Viola, though.

[Gwreck]

Phil Lombardi - Phil Collins?

Jeff Musselman - Glenn Frey?

[Guest AG/DC]

Yup, Phil Collins topped Phil Lombardi's desert island list. I expect other members on the list are Phil Lynnott, Phil Coulter, Phillip Bailey, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Wrong on Musselman, though.

Back in 1989, I was staring at the charts, wondering who buys this music. Now I know. Professional baseball players buy that music.

[Theoldmole]

Paula Abdul? Glad they got rid of him.

[Guest AG/DC]

Teufel, wrong.
Thornton, wrong.
Whitehurst, wrong.
Beatty, wrong.
Miller, wrong.

Ooh, oh-for-five.

[DocTee]

A platinum sombrero!

[Centerfield]

Tim Teufel is a huge Lionel Richie fan.

[Guest AG/DC]

No, though Teufel was occasionally known to be running with the night, and frequently spotted playing in the shadows, he is not our Lionel Ritchie supporter.

[Guest cooby]

That has got to be the fruitiest video ever

[stevejrogers]

Barry Lyons-Box Car Willie

Bobby Ojeda-Neil Diamond

John Franco-Harry Chapin

[Guest AG/DC]

Oh-for-SteveO.
