Posted By: <b>Peter_Spaeth</b><p>Ashburn it is. Juan Pierre is a good guess, he came VERY close.

Posted By: <b>Peter_Spaeth</b><p>Pesky is the ONLY post-war player, by the way, to have over 200 hits and NO home runs. Three (correction) guys had one only, including the aforementioned Juan Pierre.

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>Fred C, <br><br><br>WWF = World Wildlife Fund<br><br><br>Wrestling = WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment)<br><br>Several years ago, the State of New Jersey forced the then WWF to admit that they were NOT a sport but were, instead, scripted entertainment. Had they not admitted it, they would have been forced to be subject to a State Wrestling Commission much as boxing is. McMahon did not want this, so he made his admission and changed their name. Therefore... not a sport!

Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>Jim the above may be true but I was under the impression the name change <br>was due to the fact that the WWF is the world wildlife fund.<br><br>Steve

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>You are correct Steve. The World Wildlife Fund (or whatever they are now called) was integral in forcing the name change.
