Eight out of nine. I coulda took the gimme on the Angels Silver Slugger and went with Mike Trout but I was going for rarity scores and so I typed in Rod Carew, which was a wrong answer. [FIMG=444]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53194520445_529333cff3_c.jpg[/FIMG] So I looked this up and forgot that Carew switched from second base to first base when he signed with the Angels. Because I was thinking to myself, how the hell did Carew not win a single Silver Slugger with the Angels? Who was better at second base --- every single season?

So were any of those Pirates games not televised?

=ashie62 post_id=137322 time=1694562261 user_id=90] I must have missed Was any one game that month not televised?

We discussed this the last time and I became sort of obsessed with this topic. So I sought out the NYC edition of that week's TV Guide and eventually found a copy for sale on ebay. I won the auction and when I received the TV Guide, I went straight to when the game would be played, and it wasn't televised -- according to that TV Guide. So I'm assuming that the decision to televise the game came too late to update or revise the TV Guide. Also, what added to my obsession was coming across a poster for the famous Billie Jean-King/Bobby Riggs tennis match. It was played on the same date and at the same time as the ball off the wall game. This triggered a grade school memory where the day after the game, when we took our seats in the classroom that morning, in the few minutes before our teacher commanded our attention, an argument/discussion begin raging across the class about what everybody watched on TV last night. I didn't participate but I remember a good friend of mine back then who sat one seat away from me diagonally was touting the tennis match and I was thinking to myself, "Who'd wanna watch girls' tennis?" I would've surely watched the Mets game if it was televised but I have no memory of seeing the ball off the wall play in real time. Plus, the surviving footage of the play isn't WOR-TV footage. WOR never shot from that angle back then. That's surely a hand held camera shot by the producers of those annual 35-45 minute Mets highlights films produced every year back then. That crew was likely at Shea for that game because the Mets were in the thick of the pennant race, playing meaningful September games. Oh, and the other bit of great TV programming in prime time that evening was the TV premiere of Bonnie and Clyde. On further thought, I just came up with a horrifying possibility. Because I have a strong memory of being sprawled out on our living room floor very late at night, fighting off sleep when everybody else was asleep and listening to one of those Mets/Pirates games on the radio. I think it was the ball off the wall game because I remember the extra inning rally. I think I listened to the game on the radio because I never found out in time about WOR's late changing decision to televise that game. Oh, the horror!

I assume, though, that his new Mets contract doesn't take effect until after the end of the Brewers 2023 season, at the earliest.

I like it when IG players post the image of their boards. Where's Nomar?

Eight out of nine. A very easy quiz today what with the Mets being the only team column, other than the stumper. No idea on that one. [FIMG=555]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53183308263_d709f2f7d4_c.jpg[/FIMG] Willie Montanez is a correct answer to all three of the Mets boxes.
