I was looking through rosters today, and I noticed all the fun initials. So I decided to make a puzzle for you. Based on the initials of players, you figure out the team. To make it more fun, all of the players within each team's clue were born in the same country.
Example:
RAD
DW
ID
CY
LD
Answer:
Mets. R.A. Dickey, David Wright, Ike Davis (who seems like more of a Superego guy to me), Chris Young (who is not a CY contender), and Lucas Duda (who may or may not have a learning disability) all play for the Mets and are all from the United States.
If a player's first name is initials, those are the first two initials of the clue (like R.A. Dickey).
1. RZ, JZ, GG, SS
2. JAH, JDM, WW, BN, BB
3. CG, MS, RB, RH
4. CZ, OI, AS, EM
5. IS, MK (Only two, but that should give you a hint about the country.)
6. DD, SS, JJ, LL, BB
7. JA, JC, AS, WV
Well that was fun! You go and post stuff like this and I feel this intense desire to figure it out.
ReplyDelete1. Washington Nationals: Ryan Zimmerman, Jordan Zimmermann, Gio Gonzalez, Stephen Strasburg (U.S.)
2. Houston Astros: J.A. Haap (pre-trade), J.D. Martinez, Wesley Wright, Bud Norris, Brian Bogusevic (U.S.)
3. Colorado Rockies: Carlos Gonzalez, Marco Scutaro, Rafael Betancourt, Ramon Hernandez (Venezuela)
4. Florida Marlins: Carlos Zambrano, Edward Mujica, Anibal Snachez, Omar Infante (Venezuela)
5. Seattle Mariners: Ichiro Suzuki, Munenori Kawasaki (Japan)
6. St. Louis Cardinals: Daniel Descalso, Skip Schumaker, Jon Jay, Lance Lynn, Barret Browning (U.S.)
7. Cincinnati Reds: Jose Arredondo, Johnny Cueto, Alfredo Simon, Wilson Valdes (Dominican Republic)
You got 'em all. Hope you had fun boning up on your rosters.
ReplyDeleteThere can't be a team that has more double initials than the Cardinals can there? And that's even with Chris Carpenter on the DL.
