I'm including this Miller Lite ad in the Throneberry file even though Marv doesn't have a speaking part to speak of. He's in the background, on the yellow uniformed "Less Filling" team, and can be seen shouting "Less Filling" with the rest of his teammates.

Gotta be somebody from the 69-73 teams; they played 12 World Series games.

So I'll guess Cleon Jones.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Good guess. I'll go with Yogi Berra.

Seven of the eight cities/metropolitan areas that were selected to host a baseball team in the proposed Continental League of 50 years ago eventually got a MLB franchise. Name the only city that didn't.
