BFJ's Friday Game

Post by bfj »

Image

On a whim in a staff meeting I looked up a sports collectible for the founder of Pathfinders for Autism, BJ Surhoff. I found a 1988 Starting Lineup Sports Super Star Collectible on ebay and bought it. On the back of the box are the AL and NL checklists for the series. Today's game will be just the NL side, I'll save the AL for another day.

No rules, guess as much as you want. I will do my best to keep up with the board. I have no desire to do any real work today!

Can you guess who is on the checklist for each team?

Ok, so they weren't necessarily the stars, right? How about Dave Dravecky, Rick Rueschel, Bob Brenly, Roger Craig?

Many of these players aren't considered lifers with their teams. Some of the players already named are on the list, but with other teams.

I'd switch Thompson and Butler, otherwise same slate (and of course Big Daddy Ruschel). I'm just chirping in, sancarlos rang in first.
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.
