Bravo!!!
So what do I win?!?! LOL

Prior to last year's White Sox winner, can you name the last position player on a Chicago pennant winner to have more walks than hits?

Elgin,
You have won something.
The next time you are in Huntersville, NC - you will be treated to an all expense paid dinner of the following:
3 hard boiled eggs.
Two NewCastle Brown ales.
A one pound - 3/4 inch thick slab of grilled moose meat.
Answer - Shoeless Joe Jackson.

Wrong! (Hint: Think '59 White Sox)
One of the position players (the guy who played the most games there) who had more walks than hits.
Last hint: His nickname was "The Earl of Snohomish"
I'll take you up on the Ale! What about a pork sammich?!!

Its,
You lure people in with the hint of valuable prizes, then promise them moose meat!?!?!?!?
I like my mieces still in one pieces.
You like your mooses strung up with nooses.
(Run, Bullwinkle, run!)
I know a nice moose who makes jokes and plays games.
You see a moose, all you do is take aim!
(Hurry Bullwinkle, hide, I'm trying to distract him!)

MN-Mom,

Delicate Moose
I know, I know -- you think of moose as a tough critter -- long muscular legs, beady little eyes, and with those antlers (horns we call 'em) able to handle himself in the rough and tumble. Well, let me tell ya -- they're as nice an animal as you'll ever meet --- sweet -- tender -- and downright delicate as this recipe shows.
1 1/2 lbs ground moose
1 (30 count) package saltine crackers, finely crushed
1 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup ketchup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
1 quart tomato sauce or tomato juice
1. Preheat oven to 375F Grease two baking sheets Mix first eight ingredients.
2. Shape Moose meat into meatballs. Place meatballs on baking sheets Bake for 15 minutes in oven.
3. (The cheese may ooze out a bit…it’s no biggie) Pour sauce/juice and broth into a (crock) pot and heat Remove Moose meatballs from baking sheet and place gently in sauce.
4. Simmer until Moose meatballs are cooked through.
5. Baste the top Moose meatballs if needed.
6. (Do NOT stir or you will have moose mush…. not a pretty sight!) Serve on rice, noodles or on mashed potatoes.
7. Be sure to have some bread on hand to sop up the sauce.
8. (I don’t add salt to this recipe as the saltines, soup and sauce/juice have salt added. Personal preference.)
Enjoy!

Good guess! But wrong! Think '59 White Sox. Last hint: The guy Ted Kluszewski replaced during the pennant drive! You know ...the Earl of Snohomish!
