No Spring Lake Park, '95. However there is a kid with the same name in my physics class this quarter at the U. You probably are thinking of him. He spells his name Drier or something like that.

Digsby- where exactly IS the KS95 tower? Can it be seen from any other park? I think that 94.5 argument is pretty compelling, I thought of it right away, but had no idea where they broadcast from

davide(?) Do you really think the park has been revealed? I think not. It could still be in any one of the parks discussed here, or maybe even one that hasn't been mentioned yet. To those who think this year is so special because of the $10 grand, do you think they're gonna let us get close to it this early?

longfellow was a poet from the late 1800's.. no correlation to any of the clues...

The man of fame for BP, as may aguement goes, is HUDSON. If you dont know who that is, go back to school. He was some sort of explorer I think. There's a big lake in Canada named after him. But I really like that Longfellow argument. I saw that last night as well . ..

Duff-Why Ruth? just because of his lifetime HR record being 954? That's a pretty weak argument . . anything else?

was at newell this morning and it is tore up... only snow untouched was in bushes... some of it looked fresh but when i dug it i realized it was just dug up snow covered in fresh snow...

Ruth only hit 714 homeruns

MedallionStallion

Newell- The clues fit, BUT IT IS SO DAMN OBVIOUS! Why would it be so obvious this year? Since the park is so small it would get dug up much quicker! I'm not sold on it yet.

And the man of fame doesn't HAVE to be the Iconoclast, but perhaps thats a good lead
