Rick Mellencamp?

Oh, wait, that’s not a real guy.

Ralph Milliard?

'Oh yes, I know all about that duty-of-a-citizen stuff. It doesn't go. There are exceptions to every rule, and this was one of them. When a man risks his liberty to come and root at a ball-game, you've got to hand it to him. He isn't a crook. He's a fan.'

Nope

Our guy isn’t nearly so obscure.

Tony Tarasco?

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

Great guess

It’s not Tony, but that’s a great guess.

by Eric Simon on Jan 19, 2009 11:47 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

You've said that

Ralph Kiner was a good guess
& now
Tony Tarasco is a great guess.

Neither one of those two look anything like each other, so how on earth are they good/great guesses?

Wow

These are all terrible, terrible guesses. I guess some complacency set in with yesterday’s gimme on the mystery pitcher.

Tug McGraw?

That reference

to Tuuu Timp just had me falling off my chair. Damn those interweb comic refrains.

by deadspy3 on Jan 19, 2009 2:52 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Comic

by deadspy3 on Jan 19, 2009 2:52 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Roberto Alomar?

Donn Clendenon

is my guess but looks like a couple extra letters. This was a tough one.

by Sokojoe on Jan 19, 2009 2:35 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Richard Hidalgo?

I don’t think its right, but I’m stretching here

by Meddler on Jan 19, 2009 2:49 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Ashburn, hmmm.

I guess I can see it, but hindsight is 20/20

by TBlz on Jan 19, 2009 2:50 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Fair enough

I see the “Rich” part of it but I still think it looks like “Rick Mellencamp” or “Rick Williams.”

It’s no Tuuu Timp.

the last name

really looks like Williams or Williamson or something with Will in it.

Gold Glove Outfielder and Lifetime .300 Hitter Ashburn

Now if we can only exhume him to play left field we may win the pennant!

Del Unser

Hard to tell. Answer anytime soon?
