not canseco? that's the only one i recognized.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Mon Nov 14, 2016 2:12 pm

I think I got 7 on the first run through then 8 when it was pointed out Orel wasn't a lefty. I couldn't not see Ivan Calderon so I missed Guerrero and Nigel F'ing Wilson.

Also, through 5 I either had the high answer or a wrong answer each time. That can't be too common.
