Baseball cards are great. There are a zillion games you can play with them. Here's a new one: You have to pick three baseball cards where one of them is different from the others. For example, you set out Danny Haren, Joe Blanton, and Jason Kendall and then ask the question which one is the catcher. (Answer = Jason Kendall for those unfamiliar with the A's.) The fun is both thinking up interesting questions and answers.
But the fun is also in the sound effects to go with the show. Daddy has located a bunch of "sounders"--effects from old game shows. During the setup time, there's the intro music from the show "To tell the truth". Then, when the contestant is thinking, we play the "thinking music" from Match Game. (Listen to it here.) The best sound effect comes when a contestant guesses incorrectly--the losing horns from The Price is Right. (Listen to them here.) Almost as good are the victory sounds, also from The Price is Right, which you can listen to here.
The sound effects really make the game.
Here's today's question: Which pitcher is left-handed:
A. Barry Zito
B. Danny Haren
C. Huston Street
Tune in tomorrow for the answer.
