After Bob lost all his money and had to sell his house ( which was the largest private residence on Manhattan ) he had no place to go. There was a gardeners shed / living quarters on the property. The new ownwer of the property invited Bob to live there. Bob was trotted out as a novelty at parties.

What former ML player has the unfortunate distinction of being the first player to have started three times for the opposing line-ups in a perfect game?

Sometimes the officers would water down the rum and take some for themselves, a method was used by the crew to check to see if the rum was high enough in alcohol content. A portion of rum was placed in a pan and some gunpowder was put into the pan and ignited. If the rum was watered down, the rum would not burn. The flaming rum would be proof that the rum was good..

These three place names have all the same word-form (x.a.y.a.z.a) but are pronounced quite differently, each from the other.
