I like 5/24 and maybe 5/3.

My thoughts on this month

5/3 - This one's worth giving a go. There's certainly no shortage of question fodder here
5/10 - Also intriguing. Lots of former Soviet and Yugoslav nations became independent, probably enough for a "Which of these countries did NOT achieve independence during 1992?" question. Clinton was elected, prompting a few 13/14-year-olds to drool over Chelsea (and later wonder what the hell happened?). Canada did a year-long series of quarters honouring its provinces and territories, seven years ahead of the State Quarters program (seriously, USA, what is it with us pwning you in monetary advancements these last few decades?)
5/11 - And this one time, at trivia camp, I was playing Nightside when she gazed upon me fondling the 5 button's nipple . . .
5/17 - I wonder if there will be a Q about working for Buzztime Customer Relations these last two months
5/25 - Oh goody, a game chock full of questions about Baldwins, Hiltons, Spearses, Olsens and the Flimpson sisters. PASS!
5/31 - This one could get ugly. There's all sorts of AAA, Latin and Japanese teams to ask about, Little League World Series winners and Olympic teams would be fair game, and there's plenty of lead-off for movies and pop culture to steal a question or three. I really hope MADDOG shows up this night

Well, at least I got all of the American baseball trivia right...
Congrats to Quaff for the 14994 #1.
Apparently he knew Licey was from the Dom. Rep. and that the Orix Blue Wave changed to the Buffaloes in 2005.
Precalled "Blue Wave". Imagine my surprise at their absence.
Japanese baseball questions are usually hard enough but to have one about a team that changed its name recently... ouch!
BT, you rascals, you!

I also knew the Licey question. The one that got me was the traditional Fenway park 8th inning song. Had no idea of that one and by the time I sorted out the final clue was left with only 155 on that one. ALso did not know the Mets farm teams. Started off with Braves and the were the first eliminated so then went to Mets riight away for a few hundred points. ALso precalled "Blue Wave" for Orix, but went to Buffaloes fairly quickly on that one when Blue Wave wasnt there. All the rest as I recall were pretty straightforward. Very nice game by the Buzzies this time. With the title of "Baseball Teams", I was suspicious going in of possibly quite a few baseball movie questions but was pleasantly surprised that was not the case.
