I stand by my guess on #10; but I think that Ksyrup is right with #6... I knew it started with a C
Shorty are you sure #4's wrong... I was pretty confident about that one. Last edited by ScottVib : 04-18-2003 at 02:05 PM. |

Yeah, Brock is right. I thought brock was called wrong, so Cobb was my next guess.
But who can forget Rickey's speech: "Lou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest." Or something like that - right in front of Brock, too!

Cobb is 4th All-Time. Maury Wills was a good guess by The Afoci, but he held the all-time single-season record until the correct answer, Lou Brock (by Scott) beat that. Quote:

Ahh.. Johnson, I should have had that one... oh well. Don't worry about #4 Shorty... I thought I was right.. but I wasn't 100% on that one, thought I might have been off by a couple of years or something.
