Good guess, PENGWN, but not right. The pictures on the front of their baseball cards are of Milt and Frank Bolling, not photos of the same brother. You were getting close to answering my follow up bonus question, when you looked at the background in both photographs.

(There is a clue to the correct answer in the first nine words of the second sentence of my reply to your post.)

Good luck, I've got a feeling that you will figure it out now. :D

The first part has practically been spelled out.
So, if no one minds, I can probably remedy the second part of your question with some specificity. I wanted to give ANON or someone from that area first crack as a professional courtesy.
Those light towers sure look like the ones that were behind the wall of the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
I made it to two games in that park.
The outfield had bleachers all the way across, the towers were gone by then, and the place smelled like pee.
I suppose it could have been worse. The stadium could have been in Oceana County, Michigan. (Ooh...extra credit alert...)

Come on, SPOTES, put us out of our misery and give everyone the correct answer. :lol:

p.s. The obscure clue in the second sentence of my reply to PENGWN was "on the FRONT of their baseball cards".

so I have to guess that the back of the card has something to do with the answer?

Sure.
Frank was on the back of Milt's card and vice versa from that 55 Bowman set.
They were later corrected.

Here's an obscure movie question:

What performer appears in both Road House and From Dusk 'til Dawn and in what capacity?

Maybe two people here can answer this without googling. Doubtful either will admit it.

The real question should be Julie Michaels or Salma Hayek.

I would happily admit knowing Salma Hayek was in From Dusk Till Dawn, and I would guess her capacity to be about 38, but you're right I wouldn't know it for certain (or if she was in Road House) without Googling her.

Every male in the U.S. younger than Cloudy knows Salma was in From Dusk Till Dawn, that's not what I was getting at. Sadly, one has to know much too much about Road House to understand some of this absurdness. :o

Your guess is correct.
It was not Danny the Wonder Pony.
He was originally cast in Road House but was fired for giving girls rides in the back room during his break.

SPOTES wins...!!!

You guys took off on me, before I was quite finished. I had a little bit more to say about the 1955 Bowman goof up with the Bolling brothers' baseball cards. Insane baseball card collector I was, I had both error cards and the corrected ones of them in my collection. The Bolling brother's sister was my brother Bob's secretary, in Bay Minette, Alabama. When I found this out I sent the cards down to him, and their sister got both of them to autograph the cards. Milt signed the one with his picture on the front, and Frank signed his bio and stats on the back of the card. They did the same on the other card. They also autographed the corrected cards on the front. I no longer have these very rare autographed cards, as they disappeared along with MUCH more, after I left them at my ex-wife's house in Michigan, before they went to the auction during our divorce. There is a lot more to this story, but I will leave it here.

As for the bonus points question, I believe that the pictures of both Milt and Frank Bolling were taken at Brigg's Field in Detroit on a day, when the Red Sox were playing the Tigers in Detroit. The background and home and visitor uniforms kind of confirms this. I'm pretty sure that I am correct about this, but if somebody knows better, please let me know. :D

Talent like Danny the Wonder Pony does not come along very often. :roll:
Well then, I'm thinkin' it was perhaps one of the dancing girls or one of those band types. :?:

As stated above, I'm pretty sure that's the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
Briggs didn't have light towers so much as light banks on top of the upper deck. It also had bleachers all the way around the outfield and a mostly complete outfield upper deck by WWII.
If you take a close look at that set you'll notice most shots with a stadium background are the same, even the NLers.
I suspect they superimposed player photos onto stock stadium shots for the set.
They did that all the time with photos with a sky background also.
I suppose it saved money; travel expenses and all that. That's why most photos used to be taken in Florida during spring training to keep costs down and doctored accordingly.

In the opening scenes of Road House a band named The Cruzados is performing on stage.
The house band from the Titty Twister bar in From Dusk 'til Dawn is Tito & Tarantula.
The featured singer of both bands in both movies is Tito Larriva.
Tito Larriva... a must have for those trying to get from Fred Williamson to Terry Funk in one degree of Kevin Bacon.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends...

You know 'em, you love 'em, the Mongol horde.
Before dying in 1248, this Mongol warlord was undefeated in 65 battles while defeating 32 nations and conquering more land than any military figure in the history of the world. What was the name of this great military strategist and tactical innovator who clearly needed a better publicist?

If anyone gets this, I'll give them my own bow tie as a gift--or as I might say in Mexico, "mi bow tie, su bow tie"

Spotes,

I had to Google the answer, but I believe the answer is Subutai.

He has about 50 trillion variant spellings of his name and that one is certainly amongst them.
I'm giving you credit since ANON would actually say "mi corbata, su corbata" in Mexico thus making a mockery of his phonetic skullduggery.
Now, if he would have name dropped Subotai from the first Conan movie...

No, I was being honest. I don't speak Spanish, so I WOULD actually say "mi bowtie, su bowtie."

Now if I were in Germany, I probably would say "meine Fliege, deine Fliege." :)

I've scrolled up and down, and can't find a new "Trivia Chain" question here.
