Dead or Alive Game 16 12/16/07

Identify the following people as Dead or Alive. Then take a guess at the theme – two or four words in my notes, depending on if you include the parenthetical. The first five players to guess the two word theme correctly will get five points, and the first five to guess the four word theme correctly will get ten bonus points. You may only guess at one version of the theme, and please do so before checking anyone else’s responses.

1. Eddie Collins
2. Joe Morgan
3. Rod Carew
4. Bill Mazeroski
5. Damion Easley
6. Frank White
7. Bobby Grich
8. Rich Dauer
9. Tony Lazzeri
10. John (Bid) McPhee

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Many Hall of Famers and All-Stars but I don't think all are. Easley is still active and can't be in the HoF and I think McPhee is pre All Star era. Biggest wild card is Dauer who I don't recall.

Only thing I am sure of is they all appear to be Major League baseball players who predominately played second base.

So for 4 words: Major League Second Basemen?
