Who am I?

November 4, 2008 by Paul Gotham 7 Comments

images5Looking at my numbers probably doesn’t tell the story. Sure I hit .300 a few times, ripped 30 hrs once, and drove in 100 on three occasions. But in 23 years I never led the league in any of those categories. In fact the only offensive category I ever led was doubles, and I did that one time. I appeared in six mid-summer classics – started in one. I played in the World Series once. Perhaps the best way to identify me is to think of three of the teams I played for – the Mets, Astros / Colt ’45s, and Tigers. What one uniform color do those three teams have in common. Figure out that color and you got me.

    Staring at/refreshing computer for WAI sure beats watching election results!

    Pete is on a roll!!

    The WAIs at night are going to be a little tougher with Pete slamming down a Mountain Dew and hiting the refresh button like he was playing the slots in Vegas.

    Chas you are definitely in trouble!!

    As I said before, the regular season WAIs are not as big a deal as the Challenge. There are definitely nights that I’m not even home for the entire night, and I’m sure everyone else has experienced the same.

    In a way, Pete is leading with a slight disadvantage…he was ineligible for the question he wrote, which was one of the ones I got right.
