Cause if I have my way with you baby
I would be changing your life today

7. You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together

"Lady" - Kenny Rogers

Shaking their heads in sorrow

"Would I Lie To You?" - Eurythmics

Theme? As I started to post this, I figured out song # 11. Prior to that, I was assuming that this had something to do with a baseball scandal due to the photo of the host. But the "Miami" clue immediately made me think of Tiger Woods. So, I'll say the theme is the Tiger Woods scandal.

"Heartbreaker" - Pat Benatar

5 Point Bonus: How does Song #12 fit the theme of the game?

Well, if by some miracle I am right on the theme, then it could be due to Tiger lying about his affairs or possibly the "lie" of his golf balls on a course.

1. While she's deceiving me
It cuts my security has
She got control of me
I turn to her and say

Andruw Jones is the only player I have ever actually heckled at a baseball game before... but if there was going to be a second, it was going to be Hart. I was sitting the right field bleachers for a Cards game against the Brewers a few years ago, and Skip Schumaker hit a homerun that caromed off the video scoreboard above the right field wall. Hart played it like it was still in play, I assumed to try and deke the umpire into thinking it had hit off the wall instead (this was just before homerun replay had begun), but as it turns out, despite having the best view of theplay, Hart was actually the only person in the ballpark who really did think that scoreboard was in play and that it was not a homer. He bitched to the umpire for a few minutes, then bitched some more about it to the centerfielder when the pitcher changed later on in the inning, still unhappy looking and pointing at the scoreboard. I wanted so bad to yell at him, in the style of our usual right field heckler, "Hey Corey Hart!!! You'd have seen that was a homerun if you weren't wearing your sunglasses at night! Wooooo!!!!!!!" Alas, a lost opportunity....

2. You got me runnin' and hidin' all over town,
you got me sneakin' and a-peepin' and runnin' you down.
This can't go on

Of the band Santana, obviously

3. Now we gotta run, mmmm-mm-mm
No more time for fun, mmmm-mm-mm
When we're gettin' angry, mmmm-mm-mm

It's too bad Clark didn't wear the number 5...

4. I'm telling you
Just watch your mouth
I know your game
What you're about

I don't know if he was ever known as Michael Jackson, but he should have been...

5. Is ya man on the floor?
If he ain't...
Let me know

Brown is probably most famous for supposedly once missing a game with a strained eyelid from sleeping incorrectly...

6. Well have you seen that girl in the corner
I'd like to take her out of her chains
Cause if I have my way with you baby
I would be changing your life today

Welch is the last 27 game winner in Major League Baseball... and he could hold that distinction forever given that pitchers rarely start more than 34 games a season anymore...

7. You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Won't you believe in my song?

8. Where did your long hair go
Where is the girl I used to know
How could you lose that happy glow

This was the only song Wilson charted as a solo artist, thus why I used it instead of a more familiar Beach Boys song...

9. People come to their windows,
They always stare at me
Shaking their heads in sorrow
Saying, Who can that fool be

Johnny, Johnnie... they both sound the same to me...

10. I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
Then close "with love" the way that you do

On either of these last two songs, any artist who recorded a version was good enough for credit...

Would I Lie To You - Eurythmics

Theme? - The artists all have namesakes who have played Major League Baseball!

5 Point Bonus: How does Song #12 fit the theme of the game?

Because one of the two members of The Eurythmics was....

The only video game system I ever had that was more advanced than the original NES was a Super Nintendo I bought on clearance from Mecca during my first Christmas there in 1998. My absolute favorite game I had for it was Ken Griffey, Jr's baseball game, of which I managed to play about 2/3 of a season with 8 different teams. The rosters were based on the real MLB teams from 1995, however, they only had the rights to use Griffey's name in the game... so they made up names for everyone else. For a lot of the bigger stars, they came up with some clever doppelgangers.... Deion Sanders became "Sandy Falcon", Frank Thomas became "Big Magoo", Albert Belle became "Frank Liberty", Greg and Mike Maddux were "Mike" and "Greg Marksman" respectively... but my absolute favorite alias for a real player was the one they gave to an A's starter who was supposed to be Dave Stewart... who became "Andy Lennox". Probably not a lot of kids playing the game in the 90's would have gotten that one!

JJC Points:

smiler gets a supermax for sucking up...

frank gets 3 JJC points for the Hogan's Heroes reference... I don't care what anybody says, that was one of the greatest shows of the classic TV era!

Vandal gets 2 JJC points in lieu of Krox points for coming up with a Chris Carpenter singer...

mntetn gets a JJC point for totally lucking into the Ray Stevens Krox... while I had certainly thought of him when I was brainstorming names, I could never have used the cup of coffee Cardinals catcher Ray Stephens in this game since he was far too obscure a player...

TBone gets a supermax for being so proud of getting all the themes so far, and for the Bob Gibson answer which totally cracked me up, and which I'm sure our shitty announcer Dan McLaughlin would approve of (Gibson once told Dan's broadcast partner Al Hrabosky to tell Dan to STFU about him throwing at people, since Dan brought it up every single time a purpose pitch incident came up in the game....)

mrkelley gets 2 JJC points also courtesy of Mr. Gibson...

elwood gets a JJC point for Kroxing Mike Tyson... who I once saw at the Cardinals' 1994 "Fan Appreication Day" event they held after it was announced the rest of the season was being canceled...

Panic gets a supermax for John Rocker's fears and Annie Lennox...

Search gets a JJC point for a theme worthy of some of Minty's SWAGs....

melly and Esto each get a JJC point for Kroxing Joe Jackson. Yes, I was kicking myself as soon as I saw him brought up...

Bob gets 2 JJC points for the alternate title to Evil Ways and for Clavining out...

Jessie gets a supermax for being high on Bieber...
