The only one I can even come up with an educated guess for is the bonus and I will say Brad Wilkerson.

5--I always get this confused; Either Parrish or Kareem; I am fairly sure one played the most games, and one played the most minutes.

I think it's Parrish.

I nearly hit the quinella by guessing Bobby Jones (the former Met) for No. 4, but then I remembered the Mets had two Bobby Jones, and I couldn't remember which one was the good one.

 

[Buck]

Wow, all this time I assumed he was born in NJ because he went to Cherry Hill East HS.
Speaking of which, I was imbibing many cocktails Saturday in the bar at the Westin near LAX, and the bartender was from Cherry Hill.

 

[Webster]

Al Leiter for 4?

 

[crusoes]

Bonus answer is Juan Rivera.

 

[micropolitan guy]

Actually, it's not Juan Rivera.

But here's a hint. He's a brother, not a sister.

I remember a Pitt quarterback named Trocano who played about the same time as Marino. Is he the answer for #2?
