Fun and Games

Alright just because this one gets more attention over at the EOTAC forums I figured it'd be fun to start it over here. The rules are:

Very similar to the regular PIF game thats on here. The difference is that you have to win some kind of challenge. Whomever wins the challenge gets 3 sticks (not crappy ones, but they don't have to be crazy expensive either) from the person that posted the challenge.

Once you with the challenge you have to post a new challenge no more then 2 days later & you must wait two weeks before trying to win again.

To keep things moving if your challenge goes for more than three days please give clues to wrap it up by the fifth day.

For Newbies - if you have less than 25 post counts and no trading reputation (Good Traders and Stand up Folks thread) you MUST send a PM to me before attempting to win a challenge. You will be able to participate with the following condition. You must first send your package and have it received before the person you won from will send yours.

It took a while to get a response to my question, too, BF, so don't worry about it. I have a couple of guesses, but I'm ineligible right now.

What year was Hooton a rookie, kas? He's one of those guys who just always seemed old. Today he's probably a pitching coach in the developmental leagues. Or maybe just retired, seeing as how he's the oldest living human.

Hey Urbino, Hooton was picked up by the cubs in 1971, through the amatuer draft. Which makes him one of the " never played in the minors, although he was sent down a few times, His college record was crazy like 35-4 and, he isnt as old as you think born 2/7/1950.. He got that nick name from Tommy Lasorda as a joke because he never smiled.He pitched a no hitter in (I think) his first game in 1972.. This was after a baseball strike, and had a few good years in Chicago before he went west..

While there are probably only about thirty or so true closers.. Left handed closers are very rare.. there are only four right now in the league..One National league , and three American League.. That I know of.. And, you say he WAS a closer.. I have Two in mind, one with a strong tie in to our group... What sayBF?

BFGarner

Well time for the next hint. #1 He was a closer ------- #2 He is a lefty ------ #3 He threw a no hitter while in college.

BFGarner

Kaspera I think you may be overlooking someone in your analysis.

Damn BF looks like you're going to have to give his last name as the next hint. I'd guess but I've got too many trades going on right now and I'm starting to deplete the stock.

BFGarner

lol I still dont have enough cigars to trade. Il be buying from CCOM for this one just like the PIF. I figure Ill just keep on waiting though. Maybe buy time someone guesses correct I will have an ample supply of sticks.

madurofan

Hey like I told you before there is no shame in having to buy a cigar for a pass or trade. I just bought one for sdip! He better appreciate it, because it was the last one my B&M will get of this particular cigar!

My best friend was in town from Los Angeles for a few days, so I wasn't online much. Next week I'll be in Hawaii, so I wont be around here much again for a few days. I'm sure you can get by without me.
