Good morning and welcome to Day 3 of the A to Z Challenge. This year I chose 3 themes for the challenge: Limericks, MLB Sluggers in my lifetime, and A to Z Wordles. For more information about these themes click here.
Part I: A to Z Limericks
2 years ago my theme was state capitals. Last month in preparation for this years challenge. With memories of that challenge I wrote this limerick...
I once had a friend in Cheyenne
Who hated his cell phone plan
He got charged for roaming
Without leaving Wyoming
He's better off with a string and a can.
Written in March 2022 in anticipation of the challenge.
Part II: A to Z Homerun hitters of my lifetime
When you think of Cal Ripken you don't necessarily think of home runs. I think of the streak. I think of the period between May 30, 1982 and 9/19/1998 when he started 2,632 straight baseball games. Whit Merrifield of the Kansas City Royals currently has a 467 consecutive game streak. Merrifield would have to play more than 13 seasons to get near that record. Merrifield is already 33 years old. Ripken was 38 when the streak ended.
Yet Ripken was a prolific homerun hitter. He hit 431 homers in his hall of fame career, 242 between 1988 and 1999 all with the Baltimore Orioles.
Part III: Wordle Starting Words from A to Z
Note: Correct letters in the correct places will be shown in bold. Correct letters in incorrect places will be shown in italics.
On March 3, 2022 I started with codex.
C O D E X - This gave me an O in the right place so I followed up with aorta.
A O R T A - In addition to the O, I got a T out of position. My next guess was robin.
R O B I N - This gave me the O and the N and also the R as there was no other space for it. That helped me get Mourn in 4.
M O U R N
