Numbers 5 & 10 are layups; what's with you guys? Do you ever read the papers or just this board?

[autograf]

I got the last one and I'm thinking around 1989 Josh was hitting all the Kaja Goo Goo concerts so that's my answer on that one. Will the answers be posted? Anything out there about Louisville Slugger contract purchases?

[oldjudge]

Barry-You're right. I know three and if I know that many others will know a lot more. Doesn't matter anyway; you won't be at the dinner.

[Leon]

Hey Folks,
Please do not put answers in this thread. Thanks for your consideration.

[Leon]

Just a friendly bump......I am looking forward to the Dinner.....we have some good guesses in already but not too many....

[whitehse]

I hope someone posts the answers after the banquest for those who cant make it!!

[Fred]

Dinner on Friday or Saturday would have been a little more convenient. I can't wait to see the answers to these questions.

For some maybe but a significant amount of the folks I hang out with at the National will be at the Legendary Live Auction on Friday, myself included. So if we had the Net54 Dinner on Friday night I would have missed it. I would hate missing the dinner I am hosting for my board friends. As for Saturday.....it's a possibility but the last several years it's been on Thursday and all has seemed pretty good. I can't imagine any 1 day would be best for everyone and I am truly sorry if anyone gets left out by having it the day we are. I have had the room booked for about 6 mos, though probably could have changed the "day" had I wanted to. regards

Am I the only one who knows the answer to #1??
And #5 is very easy.

Apparently there are at least 2 that know #1 as there were 2 winners last night that had all the answers correct

So when will the answers be revealed to the common clay who didn't make the pilgrimage to Cleveland?

The one bad thing about this new forum is you can't embed youtubes anymore.

Ask Leon to turn on the ability to embed them. It's an option.
