Here is a baseball themed puzzle cache to get you in shape for a summer of caching.
The listed coordinates do not lead you to the cache but do put you within 1/2 mile. To get the final coordinates you must answer the following questions and fill in the blanks.
Final coordinates are: N46 AB.CDE W123 FG.HIJ
A= How many triples did Jay Hankins have in 1963 for the Kansas City Athletics?
B= How many hits did Lindsay Deal have in his Major League career?
C= What year did Astoria High School last win the 3A State Championship? (use the last digit).
D= How many runs did Skip James score in 1978 for the San Francisco Giants?
E= How many doubles did Roy Nichols have in 1944 for the New York Giants?
F= How many RBI did Dutch Zqilling have in 1910 for the Chicago White Sox?
G= How many BB did Jeff Yurak have in 1978 for the Milwaukee Brewers?
H= How many home runs did Ollie Klee have in 1925 for the Cincinnati Reds?
I= How many games did George Zuverink start in 1956 for the Baltimore Orioles as a pitcher?
J= How many strike outs at the plate did Lindsay Deal have in his Major League career? (On an interesting note, I work with Lindsay's son, which is the reason I used him twice).
I got all the answers, except for "C", in the 5th Edition Total Baseball - The Official Encyclopedia of Major League Baseball. You can probably get all the information online, but since I haven't tried there is no guarantees. "C" you can get by visiting the starting coordinates and walking downhill a short distance. If you have questions or need a hint email me. The cache is now a wired in bison tube. Please don't unwire it. Just remove the base from the lid and replace the same way. Thanks. Maybe it will last for awhile this way. Due to some questions from djbach, I discovered one error and one possible misleading question. So I have updated "C" and "J". I thought AHS had changed to 4A before they had and I didn't know that Lindsay Deal had pitched in the Majors. Thanks for djbach for the information. The cache is now slightly up hill from where it used to be (about 10'). The former tree has been cut down.
