Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the stated coordinates. To determine the actual coordinates you must solve the puzzle. While researching this cache I discovered that a similar puzzle cache (GCGD92) was placed in Oklahoma. I figured that not many of us will get there to find it so establishing a duplicate puzzle here won’t infringe on the original. Besides, after you solve this puzzle that one will be a snap.

One of the funniest acts I ever heard is the classic “Who’s on First?” by Abbott and Costello. Costello is on his way to play for the New York Yankees and Abbott was hired on as a coach. Abbott is trying to explain the Yankee players’ unusual names to Costello. This act was so famous that it earned Abbott and Costello a place as the first celebrity non-players in the Baseball Hall of Fame. If you don’t know the routine by heart you can hear and read it by following the user’s web page link above.

You will need to match up the players’ names with the position number they play (Pitcher=1, Catcher=2, etc) to solve the puzzle. I assume that since no right fielder is mentioned that Costello plays there and Abbott being a coach plays position #0).

You are looking for a micro in a public place. The cache coordinates are:

N 38 (Tomorrow)(I Don’t Give a Darn).(Because)(Who)(Because)

W 122 (Abbott)(Abbott).(Why)(Costello)(Because)
