Hello all - I just joined *and* I actually have something to post! Gracious!
Wodehouse character or baseball player?
Last weekend I was reading Much Obliged, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse and taking in a baseball game on the radio and I had a small revelation. I was thinking particularly about former New York Mets farmhand Esix Snead, who has a name straight out of a Wodehouse novel...You can imagine the high jinks that ensue when Snead visits the country house of his nemesis Sir Kyle Farnsworth (master of the late-inning meltdown) in an attempt to break off his romantic involvement with the daughter of Lord Preston Wilson.
And there's a quiz! (No cheating, now.)

Happy because Yay!LI! And sad because I would have been too young to who he was before he died, let alone visit.
That's all old Plum needed, tiny fangirls on his lawn.
