Wodehouse or Baseball?


So, I gave you a quiz--which names are fictional characters from the works of P.G. Wodehouse, and which are actual baseball players.

How'd ya do?

1. Cornelius Alexander McGillicuddy, also known as "Connie Mack" BASEBALL
2. Augustus Fink-Nottle, “Gussie” WODEHOUSE
3. Roderick Spode, WODEHOUSE
4. Dan Quisenberry, BASEBALL
5. Bertram Wilberforce Wooster, WODEHOUSE
6. Dorrel Norman Elvert Herzog, “Whitey” BASEBALL
7. Watkyn Bassett, WODEHOUSE
8. Mordecai Brown, “Three Finger” BASEBALL
9. Stiffy Byng, WODEHOUSE
10. Floyd Bannister, BASEBALL
11. Algy Wyndmondham-Wyndmondham, WODEHOUSE
12. Lastings Milledge, BASEBALL
13. Percy Craye, WODEHOUSE
14. Snuffy Stirnwiess, BASEBALL
15. Heathcliff Slocumb, BASEBALL
16. Augustine Mulliner, WODEHOUSE
17. Clay Dalrymple, BASEBALL
18. Tuppy Glossop, WODEHOUSE
19. John Wesley Powell, "Boog" BASEBALL
20. Oliver Randolph Sipperley, “Sippy” WODEHOUSE
21. Mike Jackson, both WODEHOUSE and BASEBALL

I actually did pretty well, since I was pretty good at picking out the Wodehouse characters. You?
