RAY: Well, it's time once again to ask my brother whether he remembers last week's puzzler.

TOM: Do you mean the puzzler about baseball? Oh... I've been taking pills. I've been taking memory pills.

RAY: What are they called?

TOM: I can't remember. And I tell you, it's a wonderful feeling to be able to zoom, zing you right back. I mean for years, for decades even, you've asked me, do you remember the puzzler. I'm dah, I don't remember no puzzler.

RAY: It was fun every week. This is no damn fun.

TOM: Yeah, you're right and as I explained to you, I've always remembered the puzzler and I always thought that it would be fun for you if I made believe that I didn't.

RAY: So I can't have fun any more.

TOM: So, I guess I just got tired of being the brunt of your laughter, jeers. That's it. That's it.

RAY: All right. Well, here it is.

TOM: I can go back to the other.

RAY: This puzzler comes from Philip Brett via our web site cartalk.com and here it is. This puzzler involves an historic baseball game which took place in June of this year, i.e., 1997. It was notable not for what happened that day, but for what didn't happen and it had nothing to do with the actual playing of the game, so to speak. I mean it wasn't like 17 home runs were hit, or weren't hit, or there were three no hitters pitched in the course of one game or something like that and this thing that didn't happen has not, not happened.

TOM: Yeah.

RAY: For more than like 50 years, I think, and the question very simply was if you could figure out all those double negatives, what was it that happened? Or more importantly --

TOM: Didn't happen. Yeah.

RAY: I could have given a hint, but I believe on June 30th, 1997, there was a baseball game played, a major league baseball game, not an exhibition game, but a bonafide game played between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Montreal Expos and the American National Anthem was not played. It was the first time the two Canadian teams played each other because of interleague play.

TOM: So, what did they do? Alonz-a-font-der-la-patri...

RAY: Well, they played Oh Canada. Oh Canada, dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah. We stand on guard for the.

TOM: Very good.

RAY: And they burnt my LTD. Remember that?

TOM: They did.

RAY: Well, anyway.

TOM: So, what didn't... Really?

RAY: It could be complete baloney, but boy, did it sound good or what?

TOM: Sure, it would make sense that the American National Anthem had been played every single game in major league baseball.

RAY: Up until that. Well, it's only been played for about 50 years, I believe.

TOM: Well, it wasn't written until 1945.

RAY: There you go. It's only been played for about 50 years --

TOM: By Robert Louis Stevenson.

RAY: At every baseball game except it was unnecessary to play it at this game.

TOM: So, usually when American teams play Canadian teams, they do both?

RAY: Well, yes, they would do both but because there's only one Canadian team in each league, until this year there was no opportunity for two Canadian teams to ever play each other, but this year it happened. Pretty darn good, hey, Tommy.

TOM: I hope it's right.

RAY: It would be another embarrassment. My ego can't take it. Who's our winner this week?

TOM: Well, before you ask me who the winner is, I'd like to tell you. The winner is Sandy Falck. That's an unusual name. F-A-L-C-K. From South Euclid ??, Ohio. Is that where they make the Euclid Off Road Vehicles with the tires that are 25 feet tall?

RAY: I bet ya, they do. Oh, I'd love to drive one of those, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you love to crush a few Hyundais, with one of those things?

TOM: I still remember the day when the little bobcat was in my back yard cause they were doing landscaping and my brother gets in it and you could see the look on his face. I mean things were happening inside.

RAY: Diabolical little look.

TOM: Things were happening inside.

RAY: And within 30 seconds I had it hotwired.

TOM: He notices that the ignition switch looks like it's broken, so he takes out a screwdriver out of his pocket. He sticks it in, he turns it and the thing starts and the look of ecstasy.

RAY: He-he-he.

TOM: It was he-he-he.

RAY: I mastered all the controls in a matter of seconds.

TOM: And we wanted the yard scattered because we knew --

RAY: And you know what? You didn't really need those two rhododendrons near the house, you really didn't.

TOM: I don't miss them.

RAY: It looks much cleaner without them.

TOM: As does without the back porch. That was exciting wasn't it? Where were we?

RAY: I don't know.

TOM: Oh, the winner, the winner. Oh, it's obvious. Talk about getting digressing.

RAY: Oh, that's it.

TOM: So few could. That's what did it.
