Every Thursday here on the blahg, we play a game called "Take Me Out To The Ballgame -- In Your Benz, You Sexy WFMU DJ". Witness the key to, yes, a Benz, accompanied by a pewter mitt representing, yes, The Mets. Now, guess which WFMU DJ it belongs to.
Winner gets a piece of team swag! (Team WFMU, of course)
And since it's Fan Appreciation Day here at Magic Factory Stadium, here's an mp3, enjoy! [mp3 for download, 13 megs]
This Benz-Mitt Combo may belong to any person who has ever had a regular show on WFMU. To help narrow the field, here's a list of 19 people to whom it definitely does not belong: Trouble \ Joe Belock \ Hatch \ Diane Kamikaze \ Irwin \ Fabio \ Bryce \ Maria \ Bill Zurat \ Liz Berg \ Stork \ Scott \ Billy Jam \ Charlie \ Rich Hazelton \ Mike Lupica \ Bronwyn \ Vicki
Tom Scharpling?

Nope.

Is it Terre T?
Posted by: knuckles | May 17, 2007 at 11:42 AM
Andy Breckman could afford a Benz, but I don't think he would have any interest in anything sports related. My guess is Chris T.
Posted by: Joshua | May 17, 2007 at 12:00 PM
damn, you're right - Chris T does have a Mercedes. And he did a fill-in recently. On the off chance you're not right, I'll guess Rex.

Brian Turner?

Actually, you're wrong -- you're all wrong. But good guesses! You're doing great everybody, just great! Keep guessing!
Posted by: Scott | May 17, 2007 at 12:39 PM
OK I don't have a guess, but I am having a hard time believing a Mercedes owner would like the Mets. Whoever it is seems so worried about losing his mets memorabilia he's attached it to a key. (None of the preceding constitutes a hint, nor cleverness, nor a clever hint).

The Benz could be 1,000 years old. Anyone one could afford a benz with the right financier, but who could AFFORD to repair a Benz? I vote Rex, isn't a a baseball nut?
Posted by: I prefer not to | May 17, 2007 at 04:32 PM
True, anyone could afford a Benz (especially a used one, maybe purchased on eBay), and I can think of at least three of our DJs who drive one. And I can think of at least a dozen staffers who're baseball fans -- probably much more.
OK, a hint: this DJ -is- currently on the air. There you go...

Andy Breckman?
Posted by: kevin | May 17, 2007 at 06:21 PM
If Andy were a huge baseball fan, he'd want to go to see games - but he'd have touch strangers. Dave the Spazz?

I want to say Dorian...I don't necessarily think it's hers, I just want to say her name.
Posted by: Brian B. | May 17, 2007 at 10:10 PM
Noah. As is no ideah. But I caught his show for the first time last night & dug it, so… what the heck.

Oh Michael Shelly, how much longer will you taunt me?
Posted by: Parq | May 17, 2007 at 11:46 PM
Oh, I know this one!
Posted by: Dan B. | May 18, 2007 at 12:50 AM
Does the Benzo have an ashtray funk? I say Glen Jones.
Posted by: Listener #109577 | May 18, 2007 at 04:36 AM
Did anyone say Bill Kelly? If they did, I apologise in advance if no did then really this is pretty obvious because he talks endlessly about baseball

Fine guesses all, but still incorrect. Looks like y'all need a hint: this DJ has a weekend shift.

rex?
Posted by: rob | May 18, 2007 at 10:34 AM
