Game #168: Middle Name Game

[littlebeast13]

63. As of June 3, this Mets pitcher has 2017 record of 2-0 and a lifetime record of 22-11.
JACOB deGROM?


I just checked the Mets roster out of curiosity, and since I don't think there's any way even an avid baseball fan is going to come up with this one.... the answer is JERRY BLEVINS.

LEVIN stands out like a sore thumb, and Rosemary is in the associated word list.... so there must be an IRA somewhere among the unanswered...

lb13

28. This Internet entrepreneur co-founded Netflix and currently serves on the board of directors for Facebook.

STEDMAN GRAHAM

61. This cable news anchor caused quite a kerfuffle due to her poor choice of words in describing a shooter who attacked police. Very, very poor.
** This was the CNN anchor talking about the ambush shootings of police officers in Dallas last year. **

SKYLER WHITE - The wife on Breaking Bad - Does the list include fictional people?

the one that jumps out to me is SanJAYa and Squirrel .... is Jay Ward, creator of Rocket J Squirrel, here someplace? Is one of our missing people an Edwards?

[kroxquo]

On this consolidation:
All of the answers that present two alternates contain the correct answer.

One is the astronaut question. Deke Slayton is definitely right. I knew that he was grounded the whole way through Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo but forgot that he piloted the Apollo-Soyuz mission

There are, if my count is correct, three answers that have significant spelling errors.

One of them is probably Diaz. The proper Portuguese spelling is Bartolomeu Dias

[earendel]

One is the astronaut question. Deke Slayton is definitely right. I knew that he was grounded the whole way through Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo but forgot that he piloted the Apollo-Soyuz mission

His actual name is DONALD SLAYTON.

55. This character actor’s best-known film roles were as Alicia Silverstone’s father and Frances McDormand’s husband.
DAN HEYADA

This is one of the three significant misspellings. It's DAN HEDAYA.

[mellytu74]

If 25. is Helena, she spells her last name Christensen.

Torricelli's first name is Evangelista

Beaumarchais's first name is Pierre

Then, we get an Anna from somewhere to go with 25. STEN, giving us Anna Sten, the actress Sam Goldwyn tried to make a star in NANA

[mellytu74]

29. This motivational speaker is much better known for his relationship with the woman to whom he became engaged in 1992. (They have since decided that a “spiritual union” suits them far better than marriage.)
STEDMAN GRAHAM


I wonder if we have a KEY someplace? TED Key created HAZEL

[Pastor Fireball]

I haven't had a chance to play this game yet because, by the time I got here Monday, all of the easy answers were taken. I can, however, come back to fill in some blanks.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

gives us Rich Eisen of the NFL Network. BUT, since the names are at the ends of the clues, I am not sure it works because the name of the game is MIDDLE Name Game

Good catch.

But Suzanne Pleshette got used for Anne Rice in a confirmed match. Is that a mistake, or is the "middle" part not necessary, or am I just confused.

91. This economist is best known for propounding the principle – which bears his name – that roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
