Can you name this ex-major league pitcher who just walked into my work?

He was drafted by the Yankees, and was part of the trade for Rickey Henderson.

I totally cheated but I know the answer. I'll let someone take real guesses at it for awhile first.

Tim Birtsas?


Art

nice job. BTW, that guy is huge.

I cheated too, but I never would have guessed it.

I can remember the pictures from almost every baseball card I had as a kid, but I don't remember this guy at all.

Me neither, I'd never even really heard of him. He's from Pontiac.

Anyone else got some good trivia???

I like the format of this, posting a pic of an obscure guy with a small hint.

Maybe we can develop that more.

How about this little remembered member of the 1984 World Champion Detroit Tigers???

Cheated, but know who it is.

Is that Johnny Grubb?

It certainly isn't Rusty Kuntz.

Johnny Grubb it is.

Ok, let's go with failed Tigers Prospects:

Can't be Torey Lovullo, or is it?

Indeed it is.

How about this Gem??

Shit, I don't remember that one...I have that baseball card too.

Fuck, I know that face....shit.

that's Jim Walewander, right?

Yep.

Here's an easier one:

RICO!!!!

Here's a personal favorite:

No guesses??

No idea.

I don't know that one either, but he's got some serious eyebrows.

It was one of Sparky's boys, Chris Pittaro.

How about this one??:

Milt Cuyler. What a disappointment.

Here's a non-photo trivia question. No Googling.

Who was this quote about?:


"XXXX XXXX is a power hitter that will make you forget all other power hitters that ever lived"

(I'm paraphrasing, not sure if that is the actual quote)

At least give who said it.

If it was Mikey, then I'm going to guess "Any Tiger player that's ever lived, including the Pitchers".

It was Sparky (at least I think) but my mind's drawn a total blank.

Yes it's a Sparkyism. Sorry.

I've got a few more after this one.

Alright, Glenn, give it up. I'm going to kick myself on this one, I know it, too...

It's Mike Laga.

Here's the next one.


If you don't like XXXX XXXXXX, then you don't like ice cream.

Remember, no Googling.

I haven't the slightest clue what the real answer is, but if the number of X's is significant, then Kirk Gibson fits.

If in fact I'm correct, here's the next one. I had high hopes for this fella.

ROFLMAO!

I wondered who would find that. I specifically changed it to call out anyone who tried the shortcut. Nice find Anthony!

I've tried on every one in this thread (i think)

Jeth,

You're wrong, it's not Gibby, and Vinny already posted that Milt Cuyler pic on page 2 of this thread.

The second Sparky question is still up for grabs.

No damn way. The same exact pic even. I didn't even look at page two since I didn't think there was that much activity yesterday.
I'm an ass.
I still had high hopes for that dude.

So Glenn, are the number of X's the same as the number of letters in the first and last name?

Yes.

They were in the Mike Laga question, too.

I know it now, but I did cheat. Took me to a damn Spartan message board. Sons of bitches. Never would have gotten it.

If nobody has it by tomorrow, I'll give it up and move on to my final Sparky quote.

I don't want to kill this if these are too tough.

Okay, maybe I should stop asking the questions, someone else can take over.

The answer was Dave Rucker.

I'll keep my other Sparky quote for a rainy day.

Sorry guys, looks like I killed this thread.

:fatality:

bump

let's bring this back

anybody got a question or a pic?

Okay here's one.

This former Tiger died in 1997.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v63/GlennDanzig/caughtya.jpg

Remember, no Googling.

That kinda looks like Dan Petry, but I have no clue if it is or if he's dead.

Yeah, or Walt Terrell maybe?? Gotta be a pitcher.

Not Petry, not Terrell.

Let me know when you want a hint.

This is so fucking annoying because I know that exact picture. I think it's in this Sparky Anderson book I have.

Looking forward to the hint (found the answer, but there's no way I would have known it even with a hint)...

First hint , he wasn't a pitcher.

Lance Parrish?...

He's the only Tiger I know from that era besides Gibson and Trammell.

um, close?

Thurman Munson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do I win???

You won another guess!!!!!

Larry Parrish? There WAS a Larry, right?

I don't think anyone's going to get this one, Glenn. I cheated and know the answer and it's a toughie.

Okay, I've done it again. Can a thread be killed twice?

It's Dwight Lowry.

Somebody else take over.

Which member of the Tigers organization shares the same name as a character from the George Clooney-era Oceans' movies?

Disregard that, use this instead:


Which member of the Tigers organization shares a very similar name as a character from the George Clooney-era Oceans' movies?

So, yeah, I fucked up and used a poor source of info, initially.

Brad Pitt's character was Rusty Ryan..........cousin of Dusty Ryan.

Okay, I made up the cousin part.
