I was watching our Tivo-ed Jeopardy shows with my colleagues (as we are accustomed to doing over our lunch hour) and I saw you on the March 27th episode and thought, "Hey! That Fred guy looks really familiar..."<BR/><BR/>I was 98% sure it was you and then Alex mentioned <I>The Onion</I> articles and all doubt was removed.<BR/><BR/>Kudos to you! How exciting! I love reading your commentary about the show.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work!

About the only 3,000-strikeout pitcher who is eligible but isn't in the Hall is Bert Blyleven. And a team-mate of his who died relatively young had got to be Kirby.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading!Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11762589940867885062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953472679177607626.post-38739796431463328952009-03-31T10:05:00.000-05:002009-03-31T10:05:00.000-05:00FredCongratulations on doing so well.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts here and at the Jeopardy boards. <BR/><BR/>I used to take vacations in the Brainard lakes area (I think I botched the spelling). <BR/><BR/>Here is a baseabll trivia question I think you probably know. There once was a game where a pitcher recorded his 3,000th strikeout and a batter on his team hit for the cycle. The batter is now in the Hall of Fame but the pitcher is not. I happened to attend this game. Unfortunately, the batter has passed away (at a relatively young age).<BR/><BR/>CyrilCyril Moronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148864847009186694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953472679177607626.post-88532219266435630472009-03-30T23:27:00.000-05:002009-03-30T23:27:00.000-05:00Hey everybody, did I mention that John Pitzel is a...Hey everybody, did I mention that John Pitzel is a <B>class act</B>?<BR/><BR/>Jill, I live every week like it's Beukema Week.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11762589940867885062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953472679177607626.post-13837540189009688632009-03-30T23:17:00.000-05:002009-03-30T23:17:00.000-05:00Actually, I went with Goya and Vermeer (girl with ...Actually, I went with Goya and Vermeer (girl with a Pearl Earring looking a lot like my wife) in FJ. The biggest challenges were (a) overcoming nerves, and (b) getting the buzzer timing down. I wanted to go up against you because I thought it would be fun - we knew a lot of the same things, and it would be a race to the crannies of our minds to get the answer. You were a truly noble competitor, and I shall be rooting for you to make the ToC.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04659945670933631976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953472679177607626.post-58400061150784808002009-03-30T22:11:00.000-05:002009-03-30T22:11:00.000-05:00I wish every other week was Beukema Week.
