RMIG: The Classic Sports Initials Game

Simple, elegant, joyful nostalgia. Born in the 90's, reborn for the 21st century. Gameplay explained in pinned Tweet. More details at Enjoy

How to play:

Some great guesses on this one! Unfortunately, nobody left the ballpark. Correct answer: St. Louis Cardinals great, Joe "Ducky" Medwick. Medwick is the last NL player to win the triple crown (1937). Do yourself a favor and google Medwick's 1937 stats!

@BigSwinginRooke How cool is it that she came to your birthday party!

[RMIG: The Classic Sports Initials Game @RMIG_Classic]

@boobubum Hell. Of. A. Guess.

@easyresearcher @Cubs Yes, very sad. Minor league baseball has been on a steady decline in Eugene. The Emeralds used to play at a beautiful old stadium in the middle of town, but the stadium burned down in 2015. Sigh.

@_SpencerStanley That's tough, though. Basically the only rules are no tight ends except on Fed holidays, and the person has to be affiliated with the sports world.

What explains the pause from everyone's favorite sports initials game, you're wondering? The truth is we had to fend off multiple hostile takeover attempts from corporate competitors - seems not everyone is thrilled by our growing popularity. But we're back, and we missed you. 1/

@Dwhite921 Timely guess -- @Carlos_Dunlap has been out there making plays these past few weeks.

But nope.

@RamblinWreck34 Thanks! You're right -- Clint is incorrect, but sure is good to be back in the saddle again...you're surely due one of these days...

@spursdynasty4 Welcome! Love to see first-timers taking a swing.

Good hack, but swing and a miss on this one
