I was simultaneously amused and depressed by that one.

John Candy's character hit a little too close to home, Elliot?

Matt wins.  It was Oliva, Allison, Hall and Killebrew ... seems like an odd order, but that was it.

It seems odd that Killebrew would have been hitting 5th.

True, but not as odd as Punto hitting 2nd.

(hint, he played for the Twins and is in my top 5 favorite players of all-time)

Edit: Though Mack also was a Panner.

No, I'm sorry, that is not correct.  The actor you are referring to is Paul Dooley by the way... and he was the Star Trek connection to the film Sixteen Candles.

That is correct sir!  Justin Henry played Molly Ringwald's smartass brother.

I guess I mis-remembered that.    (It was actually Barbara Barrie who played the mother who was nominated)

Status: offline 		OK, here's another "Alaska" baseball question;

What two major league teammates (in the last 15 years) played together for the North Pole Nicks baseball team in the early 80's?  Both widely respected as "good" guys and solidly above average major league players for their careers. 

Hint: one is a current MLB broadcaster, and one is still playing.

Edit: Actually, I think there may have been a THIRD teammate on the same team.

What TWO USC baseball coaches both played for the Nicks at one point?
