Detective:
Mike Sanchez was the detective for the day and the topic was baseball minor league teams. He said he had two goals: 1) to provide useless information and 2) to help others with that information.
Mike asked Geri Menold to select the name of the Binghamton NY AA minor league team. It was the Rumble Ponies and are a part to the Mets farm system. $5 fine.
Shawn Herrara was asked to select the name of the Hartford Connecticut AA team from a list. He selected the wrong name. The correct answer was the Yard Goats. $5 fine.
Marchel Nelson was asked to select the name of the Rocket City Alabama AA team for the Los Angeles Angels. He did not select the Trash Pandas and paid $5.
Kyle Sharp was asked to pick the name of the Amerillo, Texas AA farm team for the Detroit Tigers. The correct answer was the Sod Poodles. Kyle paid the $5 fine.
Bob Tiffany was asked to name the Cleveland Guardians AA farm team in Akron Ohio. He did not pick the Rubber Ducks and paid $5.
Jayme Stewart was given a list of names for the AA minor league team in Montgomery, Alabama. She paid $5 to learn the correct answer, the Montgomery Biscuits.
Bill Baker was asked the name of the Columbia, South Carolina AA team. He guessed the Fireflies and was correct but paid the $5 fine anyway.
Harvey Blodgett paid the $5 fine to get the correct answer for the name of the AA team in Jacksonville, Florida. The Jumbo Shrimp.
Finally, Robbie Thedford correctly guessed the name of the El Paso Texas AA team, the Chihuahuas.
Mike achieved his two objectives, and we all had fun learning useless information. Great job Mike!
