We used to play this game on our high school baseball trips. It's a good way to pass the time on a bus or car ride, but it should also be good to play here in the forum.

One person will start off with the name of a current or retired baseball player - Cal Ripken.

The next person will have to find someone whose first name starts with the first letter of the last name just mentioned - Randy Johnson.

Then the next person continues by naming a player whose first name starts with first letter of the previous last name - John Smoltz.

And so on.

The way you are out is if you can't come up with a name, or you repeat a name that has already been said. Obviously, we won't be enforcing the can't come up with a name rule. If you don't have a name now, come back later and find a letter that you can remember. But let's try not to repeat the players as best as possible.

When playing on a bus or on a car ride, it's all done from memory. Here on a message board, obviously the resources of the internet make it easier to come up with players. But with the number of people on this board, we could get a pretty good list going just from memory.

So let's get it started the first name that should always be mentioned.

Great name from the past who played for my two favorite teams - the O's and Giants. I loved his stuff when he arrived in '54 (I was 11). This may be a thread killer, however. C'mon Ty Ty or Paul!

With relatively few exceptions (Paul Blair, Reggie Jackson, Chris Sabo, Manny Alexander, Curtis Goodwin) I think every player I've named played between 1997 and 2003 on the O's. I don't have much O's memory prior to 1995 and I'm refusing to look up any roster information to play this game.

:eek: You are THAT old? :eek:

:p:p

Just kidding.

I am old enough to have seen Hank Aaron (brewers) and Willie Mays (mets) play. :o

Back to the game....... Roric Harrison!

Roric threw some serious HEAT. I thought he was going to be good.

Roric was also the last AL pitcher to hit a homer (October, 1972) until the interleague era started in the late 90's.
