No wife here, so I asked a girlfriend of mine who isn’t a baseball or sports fan. She happily played along. I was surprised she got the players she did and she had fun trying to recall the names. Bonus points to her for the good attitude.
Hank Aaron
Jackie Robinson
George Brett (she grew up in KC)
Bo Jackson (ditto)
Dottie (“from that girl movie, ummm, League of their own!” Followed by, does Madonna count?” Sorry, she didn’t really play baseball)
Yogi Berra (she said, “the one that everyone quotes” before pulling this name out)
Babe Ruth (I told her she was missing the biggest name in baseball lore. She asked for a hint, I responded, “big, fat dead guy who played for the Yankees” Boom, it rolled right off her tongue.)
Great thread, we had fun doing it!
