I love how on GameDay every player shows up as #42 so you have #42 Wakefield pitching to #42 Span with #42 O-dog on deck.

#7*6

So, what number does Mariano Rivera wear today?

Dusty, where is the player's number listed on GameDay?

@ Josh

42 is the answer, but the Ultimate Question itself is unknown.

By GameDay I meant AtBat. I can't keep track of the nomenclature of all these MLB products.

ALthough I did just switch over to GameDay online and can see in the players listed on the left that they are identified as being #42.

I was waiting for a Hitchhiker's reference from you, Dusty, especially because of that copy you have next to the Simpsons guide.

Sorry, couldn't hold it back any longer.

Pangalactic Gargle Blaster, anyone?
They taste strangely like a gin and tonic.

In honor of Jackie Robinson Day, the Dodgers plan to allow either 42 runs or 42 hits tonight.
