Play Ball

#1

Post by cbarbee002 »

Good morning Muggles! It's Monday, and time for another MMM meta puzzle. This week's puzzle is titled "Play Ball", and is in honor of MLB's opening day, which is scheduled for this coming Thursday, April 1 - - no fooling! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

The usual process - - periodic leaderboards and Wednesday nudges. Please PM your answer to me. That said, I am still away (warm beach!) until later in the day on Wednesday, so don't panic if I don't respond immediately. I LIKELY WILL CATCH UP ON PM'S EVERY EVENING.

The answer to the meta is "a two-word phrase often heard at a baseball game".

So, Play Ball!

Off the couch!

And on deck -- for a full (I hope) baseball season!

Off the couch.

Fun puzzle to kick off baseball season (and a nice diversion from MGWCC).

Confident that I'm off the couch, as well, but I'll await a leisurely confirmation from our vacationing constructor.

Fingers crossed, both for MLB and for the college draft league that has replaced our hometown single-A team. I don't know what to expect, but I'm told the beer will be cold and the hot dogs will be hot. A fair exchange is no robbery, they say.

I went down the right tunnel. Halfway in I just turned around and left. Got a little help and there it was!

Off the couch. Enjoyed this one. I could almost smell the peanuts, cracker jacks, and hotdogs ...(and beer)!
