Thank you both. I had forgotten she was on my team. So I now just need two more Uniques but more importantly uniques count in ties if the same last hit is needed by two players

 

Close!  She was a name I had considered, but for some reason didn't make the final selection.  I just don't know enough about any of these people.

Dick Tidrow, twice World Series Winner with the Yankees, has died aged 74. He's also credited with being part of the organisation that helped build a dynasty that won three World Series for the Giants.

I'm aware this has been reported elsewhere, but his claim to fame is his game, not his name.

 

5 Dicks chosen in this game, but not this one! :facepalm:

Leon Litwack died on 5th August but it has been reported today and he has got an obituary in the New York Times.

 

Selected by Five players in the Pulitzer team 

 

@Toast gets a first hit

 

@BuffaloPhil & @RoverAndOut get a second hit in a second category

 

@Banana gets his third hit but his second in the Pulitzer category 

 

@Perhaps gets a fourth hit also getting a second in the Pulitzer category

 

So noone is yet in a single hit required for a win but this is always the long game

Nobody going for the "Leon Lit-whacked" pun then? Disappointing.

Puns are for the front page or the DDP. This is where the serious competition is.....

With virtually a month of silence in this round's hunt, just a heads up on something I think is a unique achievement in a previous game: the death of Jimmy Greaves was a hit for 7 players in the World Cup Footballers category in Round 3, however since the game ended in May, there have been a total of just 4 scoring hits in that category - Yoo Sang-chul, Giampiero Boniperti, Gerd Muller and now Jimmy Greaves. Incredibly, one player had all 4 of those and combined with the death of Nobby Stiles last year, has completed a full house of their Footballers category and that person is...@Banana!

 

That now means that in less than 13 months, he has struck off all 5 Bond picks (to win the last round) and all 5 Footballers, the only person in any round of the Scavenger Hunt (I think!) to have had all 5 picks die in two categories of the same game to date. This technically means he would have won again, and only 2 other people have finished R3 since he completed anyway!

 

As for R4, we've had 7 hits in 4 months, which is still more than R1 (3 hits) and R2 (6 hits) but still well behind R3 (12 hits!) - we were spoiled! Course, as @YoungWillz keeps pointing out, if we'd picked the right Summer Olympic Medallists, things would be moving a bit faster...

Eddie Robinson was selected by nine players in the Baseball category

 

He was the first hit for @Great Uncle Bulgaria

 

He was the second hit for @An Fear Beag but both hits are in the same category whereas @Spade_Cooleygets a second hit in a second category

 

For @Death Impends this was the second hit in the baseball category but the third hit overall

 

The following have now has three hits all in different categories

 

@Toast

@BuffaloPhil

@msc

@RoverAndOut

 

However, @Banana has now got five hits but still only in three categories

 

So there are still no single winning hits but there are plenty of people who are potential two hits away from a win and Toast has both a unique and three categories crossed off

 

No player has more than two hits in any category

This competition is nicely poised for a potentially exciting (despite it geological timescale progress) finish

@CaptainChorizo gets off the mark

 

@BuffaloPhil gets a fourth hit, his second in the Star Trek category but @msc moves into a winning position with a fourth hit in a fourth category. Needing only a cabinet minister to complete the game but so far this has been the slowest category and none of the games so far have ended with just one player in a winning position
