Unveiling of the trivia prize: The winner gets to have his or her team’s batters’ first plate appearances accompanied by the song of their choice, to be played over the PA system. Just like in the majors. We’re big time now, people.
The rest of the teams will have a chance to bid for the same musical treatment later, as part of our ongoing fundraising efforts. (In other words, please don’t take advantage of this on your own.)
Last week's trivia question was correctly answered by Dan Crawford, guitarist for the musical sensation The Hamptons. (Perhaps you’ve heard of him.) Correctly identifying the Beatles as the connection (details at bottom) between June 27th’s six posts didn’t really win Dan the prize, as he doesn’t have a softball team. So I’ll reward him with giving the public a look at his beloved Lucy:
This week’s trivia question is far too easy, because we want to give away the prize. Similar to last week, name the connection between the posts. Hint: All you have to really do is look at the headlines. Handicap: You can be pretty vague and still get it right.
One answer per person. Relatives of the typist and those who sleep with him are not eligible. Please answer in the comments section of this post. If a non-player wins, he/she will pick the team who gets the prize.
Details on the Beatles-Posts Connections:
* Remember to let her into your heart: From the song "Hey Jude," referring here to Maryam
* But when you talk about destruction: From "Revolution," referring to Abu Mitchell's fatwa
* Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you…The Beats: Change "Beats" to "Beatles" and you've got Ed Sullivan's 1964 intro
* Of all these friends and lovers: From "In My Life," referring to the many connections between the two teams
* I’ve got blisters on my fingers: From "Helter Skelter," referring to all the words I typed
* Still they lead me back to the long, winding posts: From "The Long and Winding Road," referring to the connections between the posts, and leading you to the trivia question

They are all lines from great classical movies, ranging from James Bond to Breakfast Club to Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail, etc.
I'll take "welcome to the jungle" by GNR!!!
Larry Martin wins on behalf of the Sluggos. See how easy that was? Please get the Sluggos' song list together, and it'll be done for your game on July 13th.
I think the "relatives of the typist and those who sleep with him are not eligible" rule should be tossed. I'm feeling slighted over here!! But kudos to Larry for picking a respectable song at least. :)
That's great. You have a picture of me in my "sensitive" phase. I was in college and I needed the money.
