You went deep into the well for some of these treasures.

Nice work. Rush and the Blue Jays are a perfect fit.

Rush was one of the few I didn't have to think about.

Tampa/St. Pete was tough.

I will be disappointed when the interleague stuff ends because I'm liking these alternate team names. How about:

Marion Berry vs. James Garfield
Janet Reno vs. Hubert Humphrey
Ed Koch vs. Jerry Brown
Kurt Schmoke vs. Barry Goldwater
etc etc

or...
Lincoln Memorial vs. the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
South Beach vs. Mall of America
Grant's Tomb vs. Jack London Square
The Poe House vs. Taliesen West
etc

You just gotta go with typing "Keak Da Sneak" when the opportunity presents itself, and I guess he's what is hip now, but the first thing that popped in my head was "Tower of Power".

The John Wayne Gacy Series
Beltway Snipers vs. Butcher of Kingsbury
Foxglove Killer vs. Florida has tons of them
Canadians don't do that vs. Probably Ted Bundy
Richard Ramirez vs. Florida has tons of them
David Berkowitz vs. The Zodiac

Etc.

2,3: Geddy Lee has a regular seat in the area behind home plate at the Rogers Centre.

I was gonna accuse Bob of generational bias, using Hendrix for Seattle rather than Kurt Cobain, but that premise is incorrect, what with the rappers mentioned.

I'm afraid tonight's games will be far more prosaic. I better think of a big finish for Sunday.
