Philippe also doesn't appear to be a US problem, but there's something stirring in the Gulf. George

He doesn't have the familiarity of a Babe Ruth or a Nolan Ryan, more like a Tim McCarver. He would probably be unknown to anyone under 50. His name is similar to the title of a song from The Blues Brothers. No one gets it today, I'll post another. George

Robinson is in the Hall of Fame. This player is known mostly for his career with the White Sox. (The fact that he got beaned a lot was mentioned in the book "The Last Catholic in America." Robert Klein also had a bit about him.) George

Chasing Amy? George

The first clue sounds like "Bosom Buddies," but none of the characters' names mean cattle are dying. George

Laurence Olivier? George

It could be Apollo 13. The thing is, it sounds familiar; but I can't place it at all. George

Keerect. You should name a performer on this thread. George

I usually don't put up a "cone" until we have a named storm, but TD 16 looks to be a tropical storm hitting the eastern seaboard this weekend: George

I just realized that this song only has two verses and a chorus that gets repeated A LOT. Here's the other verse with the title redacted: In her younger days, they called her [TITLE] Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on Then a man of low degree stood by her side And he promised her he'd take her for his bride George

Me and Bobby McGee "And now the end is here, and so I face that final curtain." George

It was his batting stance. A little bit about his career: he didn't play continuously over the five decades. His (post-Negro-League) career ran from the late 1940s to the mid 1960s. As more of a publicity stunt than anything else, the owner of the team he played the most for signed him on for a few games in the 1970s and again in 1980. He was passed up for the Hall of Fame, although he led the American League in stolen bases and triples three times, won three Gold Glove awards, and was a seven-time All-Star. He had a .298 career batting average. George

That's the one. DC Comics had a mini-series out at the time the toys hit the market. The TV series came shortly afterward.

Brand New Key is correct. Human is up. George

Ford was a pitcher, so he didn't bat that often and is not known for getting beaned much. Also, his career was only 16 years, spanning 2 decades. His career did overlap the career of the mystery player. Note: I just found out that Nick Altrock also played in 5 decades (the only other person to do so), but his career spanned the turn of the 20th century. The player I'm looking for played most of his career during our lifetimes. George

No. FYI, Mel Blanc is NOT the voice actor. This was the first cartoon in the United States to go straight to syndication and air on weekday afternoons, instead of Saturday mornings. One of the voice actors voiced several characters. The writers often had his characters conversing with each other, just to watch him bounce from voice to voice. The characters were toys before they were cartoon characters. George
