Aha! Thanks, I appreciate it.

OK, here's one just for you Cowtipper. But ya gotta find this out on your own!

Who was only the 2nd player in history (and the last one) to hit W.S. HRs in his 1st two (2) at-bats.

[RuthMayBond]

clues .Are you saying you're clueless? ;) Now don't get in a fury, and you don't need to take the world serious. I guess you can trade me if you'd rather have your fingers, but it was of cardinal importance that I got back to the fall classic

[Gee Walker]

You're definitely going to have to be more tenacious if you want to get the answer.

[RuthMayBond]

This guy has to watch it when he cuts his lumber, he might have an oak land on his house.

[Gee Walker]

All I know is that anyone who could hit home runs in his first two World Series at bats must come from a pretty good gene pool.

[RuthMayBond]

He had such a good eye he could walk past EVERYONE else.
TWICE!
Mama mia

[Gee Walker]

He was just amazing at poker, too. He needed a wild card to do it, but in two consecutive hands he got five aces.

[Cowtipper]

It wouldn't happen to be the great Gene Tenace, would it?

[RuthMayBond]

It wouldn't happen to be the great Gene Tenace, would it?Dude, how in the world did you pull this one out? With hardly any clues :party: :applaud: :shrug: :shhh: :noidea :bowdown: :faint: :laugh

Still have this one to go, CowTipper.

[RuthMayBond]

Still have this one to go, CowTipper.This player is starting to strike out more, his hometown folk say he needs to
cure a KO.
He was real homer in 2005.
Not sure how he can catch anything when he has a glove made of metal.
Nine of them, so far.

[Cowtipper]

The other is clearly Andruw Jones.

[RuthMayBond]

The other is clearly Andruw Jones.Genius! How DO you do it? :bowdown: :applaud: :clapping :gt :shrug: :highfive: :bowdown:

[Cowtipper]

What can I say, I'm just a genius ;).

[Old Sweater]

I was getting hotter then a 2 dollar pistol myself.

Just crumble under pressure.
