    11. Crappy relief pitcher? Sparky Lyle?
    12-14. Joe Wood? Joe Cronin? Joe Kelley?

    11 - Here’s a hint: Was on the Vultures, kept getting sent down and called back up, and released, and claimed, ad nauseum. I seem to recall that he was a 3B.
    12-14 - Pick three “Joes” (so those’ll work)
    15. Real life nickname, “Ee-Yah”

    15. HAS to be Gil Hodges

    Hmmm… I think we may have used Huge for both of them, come to think of it.

    The other “Huge” is Hugh Jennings.
