I've been to dozens of their games (it's in NJ for those who have never heard of Lakewood, which is probably 99% of you). I knew if I had time to get answers together for this one it would have been an easy singleton for me.

Come to think of it, I've seen the Blue Rocks several times as well, in Frederick, MD (plus a trip out to Hagerstown to see the Blueclaws last year).

Will the bonus round bring any big changes? Find out this weekend...

[classicroadster]

can't believe Tom Selleck was a singleton, he was the only name on the list I was sure of and was sure he'd be sheep or close to it. I've watched Monk and Colombo but I couldn't pull Tony Shaloub or Peter Falk out of the back of my brain, and had not heard of most of the other characters although after looking at answers I have watched most of those shows at least once.

Ah, James Garner, it is!

Clearly, my strategy of going with my first instinct is failing. Gotta get off of the first level.
