THE PUZZLE CORNER: OCTOBER 5, 2013

PLAY BALL!
The 2013 Major League Baseball playoffs have started, to see who will represent each respective side in this year's World Series. With that in mind, this weekend's Puzzle Corner is baseball themed.
Batter up!

FAMOUS FIRSTS
Who was the first team in the 21st century to win two World Series titles?

TRIVIA TIME
Everyone (presumably) knows the classic Bud Abbott and Lou Costello comedy routine "Who's on first"?
But do you remember who (no pun intended) the rest of the team members are?
We'll start it off, but it's up to you to finish the roster.

First Base: Who
Second Base:
Third Base:
Short Stop:
Left Fielder:
Center Fielder:
Right Fielder:
Pitcher:
Catcher:

We'll reveal all next weekend. But in the meantime, let's open THE ANSWERS BOX and reveal the results from the September 28, 2013 Puzzle Corner.

IN OTHER WORDS
"Understanding something after the fact comes with normal visual clarity" is a more formal way of saying "Hindsight is 20/20."

COMMON BONDS
01. {Dungeons and Dragons, Yahtzee} and yes, we know they are both games.

Both games require dice to play.
02. {Scarlett, Peachfuzz} Both are fictitious Captains. Scarlett was a creation of puppeteer Gerry Anderson while Peachfuzz always delivered Rocky and Bullwinkle to the wrong destinations.
