wow, i really needed to reread those and wait until I was sober to answer, heh, oops. . .
Yeah Tony, those are some pretty confusing questions for the drunken mind!
Nobody\'s gotten it completely right yet though.

okay, ill take a sober stab at it
I\'m gonna completely reverse my guesses from last time and go
A. ground rule double
B. ground rule double
C. ground rule double
Each using the same reasoning. Once the ball hits the wall it is the same as hitting the grass on a single, which is why it is not an out if someone catches a shot off the Green Monster in the air. In all three above cases the ball hits the wall every time before going over the wall.
Note: my logic probably sucks but I tryed, and don\'t call me Tony
Edit: all assume that the ball hits the wall below the colored home run marking
Nope. One more day with this one. Who\'s stepping up? No look-ups!
Sox rock. Can\'t wait for Sunday\'s game w/ Pedro at Yankee Stadium. If anyone knows of 2 Saturday extras let me know!

Listen to Baker Quad 5/5/1 disc 3, and at the end of the show you can hear all the meatheads who stumbled into the quad starting this chant to drown out the Psyche-B chant. After PB played their best show ever, period, this is what some people chanted. It\'s disgusting.
i remember that... i can\'t remeber the instigator of it all, but I want to say db and peck started the 1918 and red socks suck chants first during the pb chant, which caused instant meathead retaliation of yankees suck chants, and the battle was on. great show, but it was cold as hell. Ron was playing slap all through the first set, and when I asked him why he said his hands were so cold that he couldnt move his fingers to pluck the stricgs, so he was just hitting his hand against the strings - not even a true \'slap\' style. It was freighen cold once the sun went behind the building!

no 1/2 point?? blah!
Anyways:
The name change happened in 1907.
Other names included Pilgrims, Plymouth Rocks, Puritans, Speed Boys
no half point, all you did was name a street. But I\'ll give you a half point for naming the other team names, and one I didn\'t know. I also have The Americans and The Somersets as names, but I never heard of the speed boys. I\'m going to need to find some tougher questions.
next:
Q. Who is the only red sox player in the 20th century to hit 50 or more homeruns in a season?
