That was my kind of FJ! clue as I wrote Reds instantly and spent the rest of think time making sure no NL team had done it more recently. In thirty seconds I had plenty of time to be positive it could not be the Cards, Pirates, Braves, Phillies or Dodgers. The Mets and Giants were out from the get-go as one win and even year stuff was instant.
Earl found and converted both of the DJ! round Daily Doubles and outplayed Terry once the challenger got untracked. Still, Terry had a chance to win although I predicted a missed based off the earlier in the game error of White Sox when the clue had Jerry Colangelo/2001 leading to the Diamondbacks. Reinsdorf is the Chicago Jerry and 2005 was their year.
