<baseball name="John M. Harlan" correct="3">
	<answer label="Boog Powell">1B, b. 1941. Hulking slugger, MVP in 1970, who helped the O&#8217;s to four fall classics, and was the first player to appear in the Little League and Major League World Series.</answer>
	<answer label="Dizzy Dean">RHP, 1911-1974.  Was full of accomplishments as a pitcher, and brought bold and zany antics to his career with legendary malapropisms, such as the time that he claimed an X-Ray of his head showed nothing.</answer>
	<answer label="Gaylord Perry">RHP, b. 1938.  There is one similarity between these two, at least: Harlan, like Perry was a great spitter, and almost always within shooting distance of a spittoon.</answer>
	<answer label="Ernie Banks">SS 1B, b. 1931.  These players were ahead of their times.  Harlan was called the "great dissenter" for his willingness to challenge Court majorities.  Over time, though, his contrariness proved prescient, most memorably in Plessy v. Ferguson, where almost 60 years before Brown v. Board of Education he stood alone in declaring that government-sanctioned racial segregation was prohibited by the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.  As a slugging shortstop with 512 career homers, Banks was out of place in his era.  No player, including Aaron, Mantle, and Mays, hit more round-trippers than Mr. Cub from 1955 to 1960.  Today, power-hitting shortstops are not uncommon, with Alex Rodriguez and Cal Ripken, Jr. being two of the best in recent years.</answer>
