I thought it might be Ted Williams' rival (Dimmagio, aka Joltin' Joe / the Yankee Clipper) and that the last name surely must be Bagwell. Was hoping there was a Clipper Bagwell out there, but to no avail.

No offense intended, Mister Trebek. The answer/clue to elicit "Virgil Trucks" was certainly among the least awful so far.

"Polynesian testaments"...
"Who is Astyanax Douglas?"

My apologies for your torture Butch.

Your question for Polynesian testaments is incorrect.

I have no idea who or what astyanax is.

The correct question invokes a bit of poetic license

Who is Maori “Maury” Wills?

Butch7999 01-21-2019 01:23 AM

Quite an excruciating stretch, but judges will reluctantly accept "who is Ban Johnson."
The question we were looking for was "who is Scotty Barr." (A's, 1908-09)

Astyanax Douglass (sorry, omitted an s before) cup-o'-coffeed for Reds in 1921 and 1925
and is our favorite pre-war name.

No one has yet buzzed in on "understand burnt remains."

Partial credit because Camp Skinner is probably as good as the real answer, but your answer is "dead" wrong. The correct answer is a member of more than one Halls of Fame. Camp Skinner is not.

Who is "Hick Carpenter"?

Another unnotable 19th century player with a long career doing something other than baseball.

Butch7999 01-22-2019 12:15 PM

Correct, although there might be some argument over "unnotable." Not many other left-handed 3rd basemen
anyone can point to (with either hand), and despite that bar sinister, no mere cup-o'coffee footnote he.
From his SABR bio:
"Pete Palmer and Gary Gillette honored him with their Ex Post Facto Award as the American Association’s
Most Valuable Player in 1882. Charles F. Faber named him the league’s best third baseman
for 1882, 1883, and 1885, with his 1882 performance being the best ever recorded in the league’s history."
Just sayin'.
