Here's some fun to beat the Tuesday blues.

-What MLB owner said " I love my money and I love my players. I just don't
want them in the same room together."
Should be an easy one. BRANCH RICKEY IS CORRECT

-What MLB owner, when asked if his team was for sale said "Sir, my hat,
my coat, my cane and watch are all for sale, at the right price."
Quotation is from memory but substantially correct. Think his wife was worried? CHARLES COMISKEY IS CORRECT

-What journeyman Los Angeles Dodger hit a home run in his first at bat as a
Dodger?
Hint, he is still active in MLB.
Another easy one. HMMM...TURNING OUT TO BE NOT SO EASY...ANOTHER HINT: Toothpick in Mouth...
DUSTY BAKER is the correct answer!

I don't think Jose Offerman is still active. After he whacked that pitcher with a bat in the Independent League, he might be active in the California Penal League.

3. Is UL Washington still active??? I remember he never appeared anywhere without a toothpick in his mouth. If he is still active he must be in some bush league somewhere.

I think #2 is Harry Frazee not Charlie Comiskey.

I think #3 is Jason Schmidt...he even did it against his old team, the Giants...if I remember correctly.

I was thinking Dusty Baker when you mentioned the toothpick but I wouldn't classify him as a journeyman even though he played for more than one team.

Just a shot in the dark at #3 - Luis Gonzalez?

Richard, I guess I agree with you he was not technically a journeyman player but Dusty Baker is the correct answer.
Eight years with Atlanta, Eight with the Dodgers, a season with the Giants and his last two with the A's. Then on to managing!
Frankly, I enjoyed watching him play as a Dodger in the 80's.

To say Dusty Baker is still "active" is very misleading. To call a manager active is a stretch.

I think "active in MLB" is accurate for anyone involved with MLB, such as players, managers, gm's, etc...

As a Red's fan, hoping that Dusty can get things going in Cincy!
