jimmykc Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Ok, I'll buy that as long as you don't crank it up really loud when you are on the treadmill. And it's Prinze, just to have the correct spelling because of his tragic end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmykc Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Told you there would be a father/son combo. Now I am down to my last three Freds. I would not have gotten any of them so if anyone gets one in my little game, they get an A-, two will get an A, and all three will get an A+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmykc Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 You now have an A-minus, Matt. I had missed this 1990's movie entirely but the late Gene Siskel once said it was the worst movie he had ever seen. Now on to another hard one.

jimmykc Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Wow, I am impressed. You have an A minus now Auroran. Federico isn't even technically a "Fred" but he did make some good films. Now on to the grand fred-nale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayschool Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 @jimmykc Another "German-born" Fred? Or at least that's what people have been saying. jimmykc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmykc Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 And jayschool also gets an A minus for his course in Fredish 101. Obviously the art of the comb-over was not taught in Germany, thus proving Donald's daddy was indeed born there. I will now close this game and hope that Moonlight has accumulated a bit more mojo with his time spent on the bench. Thanks to all for playing and I think getting more than 1300 views on this topic says something about HHC members-I'm just not sure what. And now back to Nebraska basketball.

Archibald "Moonlight" Graham from Field of Dreams. Oh wait, you're done with Freddy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmykc Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Yes, some may not realize that Graham was a real person who had only one at bat in the majors and later became a medical doctor. He didn't resemble Burt Lancaster though, having more of a "pencil-necked' appearance. And for those who are curious, my favorite Burt Lancaster roles in addition to Moonlight were Sgt. Warden in "From Here to Eternity" and the title role in "Elmer Gantry". (To my knowledge he never had a hidden connection to Nebraska sports, however, like Bruce Dern).

jimmykc Posted April 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Yes, that very photo was an avatar briefly. Lynn, Rice, and Dewey Evans was one of the best outfields ever. Piersall, Jackie Jensen, and Williams are also up there. But last year's group surpassed both groups, at least for one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
