As they say, you can indict a ham sandwich, the bar is so low.

I don't love the idea of leagues having their own law enforcement branch at all, but if you make the baseline "if you get arrested and charged, you get suspended" I guess I can live with that. They're entertainers and public figures and it makes some sense. It makes no sense. That's nothing more than an accusation.

But, for example, try to find something quirky about Tom Wilson. It's not possible. (He's coming up in a few days.) I recognize this and appreciate the effort. This has been a terrific quiz that required a lot of work and the commitment to put it up every day for about a month. Plus the follow-up to update the tallies. Excellent.

I got Rohr from remembering a Sports Illustrated piece written by Alexander Woolf on collecting the autographs of the 1969 Mets, especiallly the elusive Tommie Agee's John Hancock. There are two lines from that piece that are etched in my memory --- one is about Amos Otis: "some scrub"; the other is about obtaining Rohr's signature: "Les is more".

The quiz answer I couldn't get that really annoyed me was Armando Benitez because I loved that Met. But as soon as I saw this part of the Benitez clue -- "1997-2003" I immediately tuned out, figuring I'd never get it, being so bad with those years. Plus I mistakenly assumed it was a fringe Met based on the # of AB's.

[fimg=222]http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/pics/chuck_estrada_autograph.jpg[/fimg] I do way better with the Mets that played before I began to pay attention that with the fringe Mets of recent vintage. Plus, those card threads I used to do.

The Candy Man was robbed of the '77 NL Cy Young Award, which instead, went to Steve Carlton, who had what the voters of that era were mainly looking for -- Carlton led the NL in Wins while pitching for a team that made the playoffs. Carlton wasn't even the second best NL pitcher that season -- that would be Tom Terrific, who split his season between ... ahh, you know the rest.
