Rags- Dave Righetti
Scooter- Phil Rizzuto
Dago- could've applied to several but I think it was the great Joe D.
Country was Enos Slaughter, who finished his career as a Yankee but was really a St. Louis Cardinal.
Moose, of course, was Chicago product Bill Skowron.

Not bad, guys.

There were 2 "Rocks." Tim Raines was one. Who was the other?

Name the 2 Flash Gordons.

I'll tell you who the Connecticut Yankees were: Frank (Spec) Shea and Rollie Sheldon.

"Man of the Hour" was the recently departed Hank Bauer.

Guess the other Flash Gordon was Joe Gordon
 
Remember one old Daily News headline Sheldon Shelled.  Funny how some things stick in your head.

The 2 Flash Gordons were Joe and Tom. Trust me, they were not related.

The other Rock was Gene Woodling, born on August 16th, just like me. . .whch also the day that Babe Ruth and Elvis died.
