Face Photos from Readers
Thanks to John Whitman for this slightly dismayed face from downtown Ottawa.

It only took ten minutes for me to figure out your reference. After having consulted my very knowledgeable, sports-minded husband, who scrutinized the photos only to find nothing notable, the field was open for me to catch your wordplay. Thanks for making me feel (momentarily) clever at a ballgame!
Laurna – Sorry to be obscure! I’ve never known anyone who takes 666 seriously as the Number of the Beast, but I did once have it as my security-card number. I thought that was hysterical (I mean, would you give the Devil a security pass?), but the issuer had no idea what I was talking about.
All that’s missing is for the first-baseman to be named “Abel.”

Jim – That would have been wonderful!
