1) Philly PHer Greg Dobbs 2) Former NYM catcher Duffy Dyer is #3 in the set - 1975 Boston WS hero Bernie Carbo ? or - 1967 White Sox All-Star OFer Ken Berry ? or - 1980s fat Pirate catcher Mike LaValliere ?

Guys pinch-hitting with sub-.200 averages, maybe lower than the pitcher they were hitting for?

They all qualify for the Cliff Claven answer, "Who are three guys who have never been in my kitchen?"

Maybe my instructions weren't clear enough. The first two have a common bond as does one of the three choices. You have to choose which one of the choices is a mate with the first two and say why.

LaValliere. All three were known as "Spanky."

Dobbs, Duffy, & Berry all have a double consonant in their names.

Troopers Dobbs & Duffy were characters on F-Troop and Ken Berry was the name of the actor who played Captain Parmenter You can now come up with one of your own if you want ... or you can just ignore this and send the thread into a well-deserved early death.
