1. What do these players have in common?

Hank Aaron
Frank Robinson
Babe Ruth
Ted Williams
Barry Bonds
Eddie Murray
Willie Mays
Andre Dawson
Dave Parker
Cal Ripken Jr.

Hint: they're the only ones on this list.

2. How long will it be before Luis Gonzalez is on the list?

Hint: 1 in 16 chance it will be his next AB.

500 2Bs + 300 HRs? All guys who are or will certainly be (or, in the
exceptional case [the Hawk], have no damned reason =not= being) in the
HoF?

OK, must be the first answer. 'Cos, much as I like the guy, no way in
Yuma Gonzo makes the second. Smile

Hope you and the other ~15K have a good time.

*ding ding ding*

You win a game-used beer cup, which you can collect from the stands at
the conclusion of any game.

19,503.

I'm pretty sure the excess was all for a chance at seeing Gonzo make
it.

Unfortunately, he went o-fer.

So they'll just have to draw an extra 4K again tomorrow.
