Very silly Jodi. But all old time Perry Mason fans know the answer is:

Scott Hamilton Berger.

Jodi/Jim - very disappointing efforts.

Combining the names of a skater and a lawyer only gets you 2/3 of the way there; to get full jokey credit you would have needed to work a ballplayers name in as well.



There is also a real answer to this one. A pre-war player.

Jim - that or Matlock "Madlock" Stojko would have been acceptable.

If nobody gets it in the next hour, I'll reveal the answer.

Jack Mills graduated from Williams College in 1911 and was promptly signed by the Cleveland Naps. He went 5 for 17 (.294) in 13 games with the 1911 Naps. He played part of 1912 with the New Orleans Pelicans before quitting to attend Harvard Law School where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. He served in the US Army in WWI and after practicing law for several years took up figure skating, winning an ice dancing competition and eventually serving as the Eastern Chairman of the U.S. Figure Skating Association.


I have been unable to locate any card of his due to the brevity of his baseball career - is there something out there?
