I mean @Bibliogryphon. Well @YoungWillz breaks his duck with the fifth unique hit of the game with Don Demeter Three of the five players who have unique hits only have their unique hit - myself included There are currently four players who have yet to hit a home run in this game @arghton @MariNisia @DeathByArsenic @YorkshireBanker Hoping this game manages to last into the New Year because I think things will be busy until The New Year 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted December 28, 2021 E. O. Wilson bg, bp, mc, ro This is my second overall hit in a second category For @BuffaloPhil this is a fifth hit across three categories. @msc gets a fifth hit across four categories but former champion @RoverAndOut gets a sixth hit across three categories but is the first player to reach three hits in one category. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Hemlock 745 Posted February 11, 2022 Gerald Williams is sort of a miss in World Series champions. He was with the 1996 Yankees and got a World Series ring, but he was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers late in the season and didn’t play in the World Series.

However he shares three of his cabinet minister picks with @msc and by both metrics (uniques and total number of hits) Buffalo Phil will claim precedent so there are now three players who can all finish in the same way (one in each category) but the number of picks that will finish the game only increases by two. 1. Vasily Borisov (to) 2. Irene Camber (to) 3. Gordy Giovenelli (to) 4. Roy Hattersley (mc) 5. Douglas Hurd (bp) 6. Nigel Lawson (mc) 7. James Mackay (bp) 8. John Morris (bp) 9. Koji Murofushi (to) 10.
