Ha.  That’s exactly who I put in my Cubs line but I flamed out trying to get cute with 2,000 K’s with Ron Guidry and Whitey Ford.

I went with Mussina there because he’s one of my all-time favorites, and I like throwing in my favorites even when they may cost me a few points.  I will never pass up a chance to answer a question with Frank Robinson or Eddie Murray.

9/9 55

Spoiler

Bill Buckner, David Cone, Reggie Sanders

Adrian Beltre, Jeff Russell, Juan Gonzalez

Jose Canseco, Dennis Eckersley, Willie McCovey

Reggie Sanders is a guy who didn't play all that long ago, seems largely forgotten and had an outstanding career.  Only made one all-star team, but finished with 300+ homers and 300+ steals.  .830 career OPS.

Nice. I had 5/5 and then guessed Sal Bando for the A’s and 300 career homers.   No bueno.  Only 242.

9/9 85 for me. I’m not going to bother hiding my answers since the phone version of the message board doesn’t have the hide option.  Nobody seems to come to this thread until after they’ve played anyway.

Benintendi, W. Davis, Killebrew

Uehara, Feliz, Cruz

Damon, Eckersly, Thomas   

I was surprised how popular Benintendi (26%) and Eckersly (14%) were.

Bando was a good guess, a little before my time.  I only know he played for the A's, Padres, Brewers.  And was a WS hero.

Check that, he didn't play for the Padres.  I'm not sure why I thought that.

I just thought about Rickey Henderson because he had such a long career.  297!

Rickey would have fit in that Boston/A's square, come to think of it.

Today I learned Dick Bosman, our pitching coach from 30 years ago, has an AL ERA title.

Ugh, an all-teams grid.  I was happy to get 6 of 9.   Whiffed on SEA/DET, ATL/DET and SD/CIN.

I hate the Tigers.

I was surprised that I had the high score for Atlanta/Det. Former Oriole, but played like 35-40 years ago. Also used a former Oriole pitcher for Sea/Det.

Total score of 80.

8/9, 166

Started, as I often do, trying to do all Orioles.

Filled 6 of the squares with Orioles, couldn't come up with any more, so then I went to non-Orioles .   Filled 2 spots, but made a bad guess on SD/Cinc.

I missed Angels 2,000 hits, I got cute and thought it was Bobby Grich.  Nope.
