Greetings. This is a tribute cache to anyone who has a long name and decided to keep it or married someone with such a name despite the problems trying to pronounce it or write it over and over. In particular, this tribute is dedicated to sports figures.
First off, I define a long name as anyone who has 11 letters or more in their last name, without the use of hyphens or double names. Folks in the United States have much less long last names compared to say Thailand, Finland, or Russia, but we still have our share. With that definition in force, the best athletes of our era include Martina Navratilova, Wilt Chamberlain, and Franz Beckenbauer to name a few.
Imagine there was a special softball game with these people. Each team had 2 ladies and 3 baseball players. The two teams are the Minnesota Landolakers and the Seattle Fishtossers. The box score for this game is below. And yes, I know a few of these folks are dead, but that's not stopping them all from having a few beers and having some fun on the diamond. The players with REALLY long names had carpel tunnel and could not show up, like Andres Guglielminpietro and Martnas Andriuskevicius.
The puzzle is in that box score below. I will make more hints available as time goes by but I want to see if any person has some divine inspiration on how you get coordinates out of it. There is a lot of information in that box score but you need very little of it to find the puzzle coordinates.
As you can see, Ben Roethlisberger had a terrible day and was even beaned. I think Seahawk fans will appreciate that, even though he did all he could do to help us win that day. This puzzle will have enough hints to make it around a 3 star difficulty. I know its not that low without divine inspiration just yet for most folks.
hint 1: You do not need any math for this puzzle (ie multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction)
hint 2: You do not need to use any of the statistics/numbers of the box scores themselves.
hint 3: You just use the first letter of their last names of the players to get the numbers somehow, its a tribute to them after all.
hint 4: Seattle won the game due to having better team chemistry.
fyi: If you are doing the puzzle logically, there are 2 possible valid solutions, obviously geochecker will help you decide.
Do not go past the fence to find this hide.
