Technically, Frank Thomas was known as "The Big Hurt", not just Hurt.

Yes, It only gave "unit" for Randy Johnson, and he is the Big Unit. That's why it only gave "hurt" for Thomas.

Back in the day, my little sister misheard, and innocently started referring to him as the "Big Eunuch." Which was so hilarious I couldn't bring myself to correct her. All these years later, I still can't hear his name without chuckling :) Ah, kids...

For Cabrera, Venezuela was my fourth guess or my time would have been pretty good.

I thought it was asking for batters' strikeouts, and at the rate batters are striking out today, I didn't know the answer.

Somewhat sour grapes as this is the only one I got wrong, but Gaylord to Spit was illegal and Wakefield to knuckle was not. Don't really think they are analogous. Maybe Rivera to cutter or Suter to splitfinger would be more appropriate. Unless you switched it around and said Brett for pine tar, or Sosa for steroids.

They are analogous. Gaylord Perry was famous for throwing a ___ball, and Tim Wakefield was famous for throwing a ____ball. Mariano River didn't throw a "cutterball.' He just threw a cutter. And besides, cutters, splitfingers, etc. are thrown by lots of people. Perry and Wakefield each specialized in a pitch that only a handful of guys throw. The only knuckleballer I can think of since Wakefield is R.A. Dickey.

It's like the "ball.......juiced" "bat.........corked."

Not the same as the players aren't cheating if the ball is juiced, but the player himself corks his bat.
