Toby Harrah's last name is a palindrome. Are there any other players that can say that?
I haven't checked all of the baseball database yet, but for those featured in a Kellogg's set there are no others like Harrah. There are only 10 other players in Kellogg's sets who even have the first and last letters that match. Try to name those 10.
There are nine first names in Kellogg's sets that are palindromes. Do you have more free time? This should be easy since many of the names are used by multiple players.
There is one name that appears on both the first and last name list, but the first and last name are not for the same player. It is a first name of one player and a last name for a different player. Good luck with that one.
I will check the entire MLB database in the future.
Tony Scott?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to think of any of the ten players with last names beginning and ending with the same name--without cheating. And the nine palindromes . . . I'm mentally going through the good teams...other than a '27 Yankee, I am drawing blanks....
Mike Squires and Wayne Nordhagen--did they have cards? I think you featured them....maybe....
ReplyDeleteSpanky never got a Kellogg's card but Nordhagen did.
