Baseball

Oops, I totally forgot to print the answer to the last trivia picture puzzle. Probably not a big deal, because everybody who responded had figured this one out with no trouble at all. Still, it's part of my purview as primary puzzler to publicly provide publication of the point of the puzzle.

It's "baseball".



Obviously, the first frame is Mickey Mantle. The second one was the only one I thought might cause trouble, but apparently enough people are familiar with leather goods and Led Zeppelin guitarists to deduce that we were going for Satchel Paige. Barry Bonds is another gimme, frankly, so is Ty Cobb. Still, I hope the graphics were amusing, and the thoughts of Next Year provided some excitement and support for our beloved Rockies.

We'll be getting more and more into holiday topics in the coming days. But for now, here's another one that might take some folks back to before they were born. What's the common thread here?



Bonus points if you can name the actor in the 2nd frame, and double-extra bonus points if you can name the Rocky & Bullwinkle character whose name was a play on the actor that played the movie guy who was based on the dude in the last frame. Make sense? Cool. Good luck, and have a great day!
