Feats or famine. Either there is never a question about baseball on the popular game show, or you have this situation. That day after Mark Blankenship got his baseball movie answer correct we witnessed this in the Double Jeopardy round: In the category “Honest ‘ABE’”(the answer contained those three letters; covered words: “a research society.”) […]
