I agree 1000 percent Dave. The Woman that is the answer to the Question and LR are probably the best pop vocalists of the 70's hands down. Nothing against Cher, She has a STRONG voice as well, but I really like both of these gals a lot. Hard to believe the 'drummer' has been gone for over 30 years now. Now for ROCK, the Wilson sisters of Heart all the way. I'm a big fan of The Pointer Sisters. Very talented,versatile and really tight harmony. They put out a great C&W song that they wrote.

:)Frank Sinatra once said that Karen Carpenter was the only Female Vocalist he would pay to hear sing. There are many people with unique and distinctive voices. Hers truly was one of a kind. She and her Brother Richard left us many songs to remember them by. They made too many great songs to count. I still like listening their Christmas songs during the holidays.

He holds the records for most World Series home runs (18), RBIs (40), runs (42), walks (43), extra-base hits (26), and total bases (123). He is also the career leader (tied with Jim Thome) in walk-off home runs, with a combined thirteen, twelve in the regular season and one in the postseason. What was his given name?

Here's another question.
Who hold the Chicago Cubs single season record for strikeouts?

I'll guess Lawrence Yogi Berra. That would be Lawrence Peter Berra and no it is another ball player.

Dave, I don't believe Yogi Berra had 18 world series homers but Mickey Mantle did. Is this a trick question or are you asking for multiple answers?

Vote for Lansford. 4 more years. Ferguson Jenkins it was. I saw him pitch for my Texas Rangers. He did very well and is much beloved in Texas as well as Chicago. My two favorite teams. In 1974, Jenkins achieved a personal best 25 wins during the season, setting a Rangers franchise record which still stands.

Dave, I don't believe Yogi Berra had 18 world series homers but Mickey Mantle did. Is this a trick question or are you asking for multiple answers? Mickey Charles Mantle (October 20, 1931 – August 13, 1995), nicknamed "The Commerce Comet" or "The Mick" Yes it was a bit of a trick question. Most people thought that Mickey was a nick name. He was named after Gordon Stanley "Mickey" Cochrane (April 6, 1903 – June 28, 1962), nicknamed "Black Mike", was an American professional baseball player and manager. He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher for the Philadelphia Athletics and Detroit Tigers. Cochrane was considered one of the best catchers in baseball history and is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Baseball names again. This may have been the greatest pitcher of all time. I saw him play for the Angels and later on for the Rangers. His name is Lynn................Jr. But hardly anyone knows it.

Don't know if he was the greatest of all times, lots could make claim to that, but he certainly could handle himself pretty good out there. Pretty good with the "steer hold" also. What I liked about him he had the attitude that Don Drysdale had. He believed he owned the entire plate, inside or outside, so look out, he wasn't afraid to hit anyone. When he figured out how to get that great curve over the plate he became just about unhittable. That was a good question Dave.

Right Willy. Lynn Nolan Ryan Jr. Like Koufax, he was a flame thrower turned pitcher. By the time he got to Texas, he had control over 5 pitches. Drysdale doen't get enough credit. But he was on the same staff as Sandy and they played on the West coast. Didn't get the pub. he deserved.
