Mr. X: Well, you want to swing for the fences.  Mr. X: You've struck out. I'm not Barry Bonds. (audience groans) Doug: Folks, for various reasons, I think an executive decision and a recap are in order. Our guest shares his first and last name with a former major leaguer -- who's famous for the wrong reason. As we alluded to in the opening to the show, this major leaguer *did* make it to at least one World Series but did not win the World's Championship of MLB. He's not been involved in a scandal. Jay, to a point you brought up earlier, our guest's namesake's career *did* take him to California. But his time in California did not lead to a Fall Classic. So let's leave Jay at four questions. Jay, you may proceed or pass. [NOTE FROM DOUG: If you're thinking the recent technical difficulties here on NGC, which saw some posts disappear and later reappear, lead to this executive decision, you're right. All appears to be good now.] |

Okay so you MUST have been a member of the Angels, but as Doug mentioned your World Series appearance or appearances was not while a member OF the Angels.
Are you African American?

Doug: Jonathan takes over with a fresh set of questions. Another recap's in order. Think former major leaguer -- who's famous for the wrong reason. Think also about someone who played in, but did not win, a World Series. He's not been involved in a scandal. Our guest's namesake's career *did* take him to California -- and we've narrowed it down to the Angels. But his time with the Angels did not lead to a Fall Classic. This former major leaguer is not African American. And we just established he did not play for the Twins. Doug: Jonathan, if any of your seven questions uncovers Mr. X's identity, we'll have an even night with each of you winning $15,000 for great causes. So -- your chance to ask Mr. X starts now. |

OK, we've established that your namesake played in the World Series and is famous for the wrong reason. Is the thing your namesake is infamous for something that caused your team to lose the World Series?
