Hall of Fame/ Christmas Trivia

Pop Lloyd and Lloyd Waner?



There's probably several; that's the first I came across.

OK, I didn't realize there would be more than one correct answer. It's not Lloyd.

Four letters.

Whitey Ford and Ford Frick?

Or Waite Hoyt and Hoyt Wilhelm?

HOYT

I didn't get it right away, I needed surrounding letters filled in before the fog cleared.

Well, if you would have scoured the HOF listings for several times several minutes as I did, you would have come across it.


Did you know that, alphabetically anyway, Nolan RYAN and RYNE Sandberg or one after the other in the HOF?

A friend did the same NYT puzzle, and e-mailed me for help. It took me about 20 minutes to get the answer (without looking it up): Hoyt Wilhelm and Waite Hoyt.

and the NYT is wrong. Hoyt is his middle name. The HOF officially lists him as James Hoyt Wilhelm.

not the clue answer but another one is
Carlton Fisk and Steve Carlton

Steve Carlton's real first name is Lefty.
