On shore. Slightly embarrassed that my wife, not a huge baseball fan, got it before I did. (Last week too!)

On the shore, a little wiser (thanks to the internet).

All this Googling is making me thirsty. I could really use a TAB^H^H^H diet Pepsi.

on shore! Me and my husband grew up loving baseball but so far none of our kids are interested… here’s hoping this little guy will be (photo from his newborn photoshoot - he is now 11 months old)

Google to the rescue! Had grid filled shortly after 4 so can't blame patient care this week. Had to set aside and later on it popped. Agree w others nice AHA!

Stay well all and have a wonderful Spring weekend

As big of a baseball fan that I am, I had never heard of this player until today. But it all adds up.

Team Doubletow needed to talk this out. It took us a while even though once of us is a baseball fan.

That was very clever and so nice.

On shore. Embarrassed that it took so long. Maybe SAD?

Wow, I’m pretty shocked my uninformed guess at what to Google got me somewhere. I’ll take a michelada.

I'm on shore with a hint from Discord that I should have seen, but I wasn't really trying very hard.
