David Sibley, who won $55,799 after 3 matches, had good reflexes along with Moira Smith (but not Sonalee Rau) in the first round of Jeopardy! In the EX-COUNTRY, Moria found the round’s 1st Daily Double, she went “all-in” out of her $1,000. There were 2 triple stumpers and 2 rebounds in the round. Going into Double Jeopardy!, David had $6,400, Moria had $4,400, and Sonalee had $2,000. In Double Jeopardy!, David made it so difficult for Moira and Sonalee to catch up for the lead. In U.S. COUNTIES, David found the round’s 1st Daily Double, but before his bet and her response, Moira’s response in the $1,200 clue in FROM DAWN TO DUSK was acceptable, so her score changed from $2,000 to $5,200, now back to the Daily Double, he bet $3,500 out of his $11,600 and came up with the correct question. In READING RAINBOW, Sonalee found the round’s 2nd Daily Double, she bet $2,800 out of her $5,200 and came up with an incorrect question. There were 6 triple stumpers and one rebound. Going into Final Jeopardy!, David had $22,300, and Moira and Sonalee had $4,800. The category was INNOVATIONS. The clue was, “Seen by a worldwide audience in 1970, black pentagons were added to these to help viewers follow them better on TV”. Sonalee came up with, “What are closed captions?”, which is incorrect and bet $1, which dropped her down to $4,799. Moria came up with, “What are?”, NO RESPONSE! and bet $0, in which she stood at $4,800. David came up with, “What are hockey pucks?”, which is incorrect and bet $1, which dropped her down to $22,299. The correct response was, “What are soccer balls?” David won $73,098 as his 4-day total. He’ll be back tomorrow to see if he can become a 5-time champion in order to become the 2nd player to secure his spot for next year’s Tournament of Champions. @jeopardy #kenjennings #davidsibley #recap #2022 #scorekeeping #error https://www.instagram.com/p/CjHTmdMOBbr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Luigi de Guzman, who won $65,801 after 2 matches, was in 2nd place while Justin Tarbox had excellent reflexes with him, but April Marquet did not get a chance to catch up to them. There was a category called NFL MORNING WEEKEND, and 5 anchors presented each clue in that category. In NEW TO THE OED, Justin found the round’s Daily Double, but before he wagers anything, his $600 response, “What is a vaccination passport?” was unacceptable, it was actually, "vaccine passport", and so he dropped down from $5,800 to $4,600, he bet $2,000 out of his $4,600 and came up with the correct question. There were 2 triple stumpers and 3 rebounds in the round. Going into Double Jeopardy!, Justin had $8,200, Luigi had $5,200, and April had $1,200. In Double Jeopardy!, Luigi was heading back to the lead and was trailed by Justin still. In A CHEM/PHYSICS/BIO SAMPLER, APRIL found the round’s 1st Daily Double, she bet $5,000 out of her $5,600 and came up with the correct question, making a comeback. In DO YOU FEEL A FIRST DRAFT?, Luigi found the round’s 2nd Daily Double, he bet $2,500 out of his $13,200 and came up with the correct question. The $2,000 clue in the same category remained hidden. There were 5 triple stumpers and 3 rebounds. Going into Final Jeopardy!, April had $16,600, Luigi had $15,700, and Justin had $11,000. For the first time this season, this is not a runaway game. The category was THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY. The clue was, “Prince Philip's titles included Baron Greenwich & Duke of Edinburgh, but not Prince Consort, last used by this royal”. Justin came up with, “Who is George V?”, which is incorrect and bet $1,500, which dropped him down to $9,500. Luigi came up with, “Who is Prince Albert?”, which is correct and bet $15,699, which took him to the lead with $31,399. April came up with, “Who is Prince Albert”, which is also correct and bet $1,801, which took her to $18,401, IT’S NOT ENOUGH AND SHE LOSES BY $12,998! Luigi de Guzman won $97,200 for 3 days! We’ll see him tomorrow for the 4th time. @jeopardy #kenjennings #luigideguzman @nfl #recap #2022 #scorekeeping #error https://www.instagram.com/p/CieHL5kODHX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Bookshelf Conversations: Bill Chuck

Somewhere in the attic, among all the boxes of baseball material, are a stack of scorecards and programs I’ve used over the years. The first one was from a Mets-Pirates game in 1966. It has the unsophisticated scrawls you’d expect from a nine-year-old who hadn’t yet learned the “right way” to record what was going on. It was just an ordinary game — nothing historic or exciting to report — but it…

The Bookshelf Conversation, Encore Edition: Paul Dickson

When last we spoke with Paul Dickson, it was about his excellent biography, Leo Durocher: Baseball’s Prodigal Son. This time it’s not about a new book, per se, but an old one that got a second life.

Dickson, who recently turned 80, has re-released The Hidden Language of Baseball: How Signs and Sign-Stealing Have Influenced the Course of Our National Pastime, which first came out in 2003. It’s…
