Franklin Edwards CSU

This is correct!

1980 debut- Jerry "The Dibber" Dybzinski.

1988 World Series- Mickey Hatcher? He is the only Dodger that I remember hitting a HR besides the Gibson HR. I have no idea where Hatcher is from just can't remember anybody else hitting a HR.

Correct times two, cat_lover!

Max Alvis

Correct!

Do you remember the game when Alvis was back pedaling to catch a pop up and Herb yelled “look out for the base, Max!”?  Max tripped on the bag and the pop up dropped in fair.  A run scored and the Tribe went on to lose. 

I remember that. Herb was trying to help out!!

Questions for today:

That is correct for the second question.

I'm going to guess one of the Johnsons. I'll go with Eddie.

And you are correct again!

Nice job.

I got to play against him in a faculty vs. the Browns basketball game.

Nice. I remember when they used to do things like that or sign autographs at stores throughout northeast ohio. It's too bad that modern athletes rarely do things like that anymore.

We were lucky so many showed up to play, as the Browns management was pissed about them still having a team because Dave Logan had broken his ankle in a previous game. 

And you’re right, it was a fun time for all.  Lots of pics and autographs.

Today’s questions:

- In what year did the infamous “ten cent beer night” promotion wreak havoc on a game between the Indians and Texas Rangers?

- In 2004, who led the Browns to a 1-5 record as the interim head coach following the dismissal of Butch Davis?

Beer night - 1974?
