I wrestled with this one for about 45 minutes before finally solving, and yes SAPOR was the last to fall. Hard-fought, and satisfying! Also: (I didn't notice this mentioned in the column, nor anywhere in the comments) the four "forsaken" letters reappear together to form an entry in the grid! Well done Brad and Nat!
@Marlene A vote for Victor Hugo, in the shade.
@Amy Agreed, it was a fun puzzle. I needed all four indulgences in Connections today.
@fionatimes Or baseball, where the the Braves used to play at Fulton County Stadium.
@Barry Ancona Cubs fans may forever malign him, but fan interference it was not. Once the ball is outside the dimensions of the field, it is quite literally up for grabs.
@Lin (and Darcey O'D) A question then for Connecticut: how do you pronounced the city of Waterbury? Like water-berry? Or water-burry? Or something else?
@Mimi David Ortiz probably wishes he had been named AL MVP, as well.
@Petrol if you can't adopt a bunker mentality, adopt a pet!
@Nancy Hi Nancy, It wasn't a sell-out, but still some 34,000 fans were in attendance at the Polo Grounds on October 3, 1951. <a href="https://baseballhistory.org/articles/polo-grounds" target="_blank">https://baseballhistory.org/articles/polo-grounds</a> (I'm not savvy enough to know for sure how to link; hope it works here.) Thirty-five years later, fellow second-sacker and near-namesake Robby Thompson took the field for the Jints. embarking on a solid 11-year career, all with San Francisco. Thanks for your story.
@lucky13 Was a lucky morning for me, to have stumbled upon your link and decide to investigate. Thank you for sharing it. As I usually have something else playing in the background during my puzzle-solving time of the day, it's a rarity when I actually click on a youtube video. It was moving. I will never un-hear it.
@Lynn One of my Market Basket bags is down to a perilous one strap. I could use one.
@Barry Ancona so then why cite it as an "example?"
@Wyra How about "make dough?"
@DP Just like a wild ranger ...
