Tonight's lead-off game features NL Central rivals in a 1990 postseason rematch.

LEAD-OFF HOME RUN QUESTION for one run and control of the board: Who is the last Orioles player to win League MVP award? Steve's in... "Cal Ripken." Ironman gives Pittsburgh the lead, 1-0.

1st Inning: THEY BROUGHT THE LUMBER FOR LEYLAND (Players with 30+ HR in a season under Jim Leyland OTHER than Jeff King). A run at stake, but Steve claims it, giving the Pirates the lead, 2-0.

2nd Inning: BRAVO! (10 Braves pitchers with 20+ wins in a season since 1946). Rich ties it up with 2.

3rd Inning: CLEAN UP CREW (14 players with at least 90 starts at clean up in 2011). Open board gives Steve a run on a stone guess. Pittsburgh leads, 3-2.

4th Inning: BETTER FIELDERS THAN PRINCE (10 1Bs with 4+ Gold Gloves). Rich goes back in the lead, 4-3.

5th Inning: TEAMMATES WHO "ROSE" TO THE OCCASION (Pete Rose's HOF teammates OTHER than Barry Larkin). Rich gets the two runs, but he can round out the list and get another 2 if he goes big. He ... doesn't. Still a 6-3 game to the Reds.

6th Inning: KINGS OF THE HILL (Pitchers with most All-Star Game starts other than Jack Morris). Rich adds another run to his lead, 7-3. And he's goin' yard. For the Big Inning... Don Drysdale... Lefty Gomez... Vida Blue... and for the Big Inning... Randy Johnson is the Big Inning. Reds are up, 9-3.

7th Inning: GUYS WITH 120-METER POWER (16 Blue Jays to lead in HRs in season). Rich runs out of time, and Steve cuts into the lead, 9-5. Will he go big? No.

8th Inning: IS 15 THE NEW 20? (12 AL pitchers with 15+ wins in 2011). Rich makes it a 10-5 game going into...

9TH INNING: 20 players with the MOST HR BY PLAYER WHOSE PRIMARY CAREER POSITION IS SECOND BASE. Steve passes, and Rich opens at 7. And Steve's going to give it to him. Ryne Sandberg, Bret Boone, Jeff Kent, Joe Morgan, Rogers Hornsby, Roberto Alomar, and for the game... Bobby Rich is CORRECT! The Pirates win $5000 for Pirates Charities, 17-5.


In the nightcap... the Petco Park Friars look to tap the Rockies.

Aaron Heinrich - COL
director, retail operations
Colorado Rockies Charity Fund
Fred Gerson - SD
EVP/CFO
Padres Foundation

Coming out of a Big 8th Inning, Aaron leads by 10, 11-1, going into this 9th Inning: 20 players with MOST GAMES STARTED IN CENTER FIELD IN 2011. Aaron passes the opener, and Fred starts the bidding with 11. Aaron gives it to him. Cameron Maybin, Andrew McCutchen, Curtis Granderson, Matt Kemp, Tory Hunter... is wrong. Aaron gets the runs, and the Rockies get the W and the $5000, 22-1.

CHAMPION
Danny Parra

Patrick Morrison

Danny starts with $200 Before They Were Famous, where Patrick finds the Daily Double under $1000. Patrick gets $800 in on this: in 1902 he got fired as a tutor, but family friend Marcel Grossman helped him get a job as a Swiss patent clerk. "Who is Einstein?" Correct for $2600! He takes the lead with $6600 to Danny's $4600. Ellen, with $3600, will start Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Gang of Fore. With $11,000, Danny finds the first Daily Double under $2000 Archaeology. He bets $5000 on this: in 1902 German archaeologist Robert Koldewey unearthed the fabled Ishtar gate in the ruins of this ancient city. "What is Babylon?" Correct for $16,000. Patrick gets the other Daily Double under $1600 Editors. He bets $2500 on this: John Updike said, "A lot of nice touches in my stories" in this magazine "belong to" editor William Maxwell. "What is The New Yorker?" Correct for $17,100! He drops to $15,500 to Danny's $14,800. Ellen has $10,000. Close game.

Final Jeopardy! in "1870s People": preserved in the West Point library, his last message reads, "Benteen. Come on. Big village. Be quick. Bring packs". Correct response: who was George Armstrong Custer?

Everyone gets it right, and Patrick gets the win with $29,601. Danny leaves with $24,000.

We hit up the Tuesday Price with Shannon Munson, Kelly Sedbemy, Sandra Bowen, Mark Boggs, and a grill. The $1200 grill goes to Shannon, who gets to chill in New York if she wins Squeeze Play. The board: 83837. She pulls the second 3... $8387 is the win!

Sandra gets a $531 skin care products. Will she look great in a Chevrolet Camaro in That's Too Much! She thinks $28,521 is Too Much, and That's... WAY TOO MUCH! It was $24,100, $24,650 is the right play.

Beth Mecozzi wins $1758 his & hers bikes. Next up, a bedroom group with two iPod touches in Shell Game. She wins shells from a $150 fondue set, $99 blender, and $41 toaster. The ball... under the fondue shell! She's also a winner at the Big Wheel.

It would probably make sense to have TWO PLoWs if the episode from yesterday aired out of order, but this one worth $2910 goes to Kelly. Next up, a $3599 pool table, a $2599 HDTV, and a $1599 refrigerator. One of those is wrong. She goes for the TV... but the pool table was $4995.

Mark gets one more shot at it with a bar set. The board: $2750. The winner... Amy Gleason. Will she add on an aviator chair & desk in Flip Flop? The price is not $3593. She flip flops.. and $5339 is a win!

Angela gets the W in the second Showdown. First up, surf & turf with surfboards & wetsuits, skateboards & helmets, a trip to Mexico, and a Jeep Patriot. Top winner Angela passes, and Beth bids $34,000. Angela gets diamond jewelry and trips to Amsterdam & Paris. She tags it at $24,150. Actual price: $30,918, a difference of $6768. Actual price of Beth's Showcase... $26,393. And Angela gets the big win with $51,173.

Let's belly up to the table for the Tuesday edition of "Fabulous Food" Week!

The $1,000 Tossup is FOOD & DRINK. Jasmine Keeney from Chattanooga, TN solves CHERRY TOMATOES. She is a Nurse Practitioner who has been marries for 5 years and has a 2 yr old daughter. Meagan Cunningham owns an Italian restaurant in the San Francisco Area. She has three children and mentors three girls. Troy Zelesky from Aurora, CO is a tech support manager who is married. He loves the Chicago Sports Teams as his dad lived across the street from Wrigley Field.

The $2,000 Tossup is PERSON. Jasmine misses and Troy has $2,000 with ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. He will start the IHOP Jackpot Round but we add this to the wheel. It's a trip to the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans with a history and tasting tour of New Orleans from New Orleans Culinary History Tours worth $5,200! It's PHRASE. He calls the N on the board. Jasmine loses $1,550 on Bankrupt. Meagan hits a Free Play H for $500, and then hits a Jackpot V but doesn't solve. She hits Lose a Turn. Troy picks up the Wild Card but hits Lose a Turn. Jasmine solves I'LL BE YOUR WAITER THIS EVENING for the house minimum of $1,000. She has $2,000.

And she starts the $10,000 Mystery Round which is SAME NAME. She misses on the mystery wedge. Meagan has a shot to risk $2,000 for $10K. She does...and BANKRUPTS. Troy picks up a 1/2 Kia Wedge. He misses a vowel. Jasmine solves GRAVY AND CHOO-CHOO TRAIN for $1,200. She has $3,200.

Meagan starts FUN & GAMES which is a PRIZE PUZZLE. She misses on the Free Play, but moves on. After a lot of work, she misses. Troy Bankrupts losing the Wild Card. Jasmine solves HIKING THROUGH THE RAIN FOREST for $2,850 and a trip to Costa Rica at the Springs Resort and Spa with Hotwire.com airfare worth $6,700! If you have the SPIN ID of AK0576706 and are Amos K., you are going to Costa Rica! She has $12,750 which includes her just won trip to Costa Rica!

The $3,000 Tossup is THING. Meagan has $3,000 with SECRET RECIPE. We go right into WHAT ARE YOU DOING and Meagan starts it. She Bankrupts. Troy leads us into a FINAL SPIN worth $1,800 a letter. Troy solves RAIDING THE REFRIGERATOR for $13,500. He wins the game with $15,500 in cash! Jasmine leaves with $12,750 which includes her trip to Costa Rica! Meagan leaves with $3,000!

The pre-bonus round total is $31,250! How will Troy do in the bonus round?

He lands on the &. His category is THINGS. With the RSTLNE and his choices of D M C A we have:

C _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ T S


Nothing. He would have rode his COWBOY BOOTS into the sunset if he would have won $35,000. He does leave with $15,500 in cash!

  Guy Gsell (Bloomfield, NJ)
He wants to open an exhibit with animatronic dinosaurs in New Jersey.

He is up to $15,500 when this appears...

[Q3 - Wonder Greetings]
Many have credited the 1970s TV cartoon characters the Wonder Twins for originating what greeting?
A: Air kiss
B: Fist bump
C: High five
D: Bear hug

Since he can't remember this, Guy wants to know what the audience thinks. 47% are thinking B, while 35% are thinking C. That's too close for him, so he jumps this one. The answer is B, and he misses out on... $25,000. Ouch.

He also jumps the 6th, which had $2,000. He is able to build his bank up to $35,600 before facing this...

[Q9 - Nailed It]
On May 10, 1869, who struck the ceremonial first swing at the "Golden Spike" that completed the first transcontinental railroad?
A: Andrew Carnegie
B: Leland Stanford
C: John D. Rockefeller
D: Cornelius Vanderbilt

Guy says that C wasn't a railroad guy, A was a steel guy so it could be him, and D is a very famous railroad guy. He is unsure about B, though. He goes with D... but it's B! That sends him home with $1,000.

Seth Howard (New York, NY)
He got the call the day before this taping, and the first thing he did after that was get a haircut.

He gets $15,000 from the 1st question, then sees this...

[Q2 - At My Lowest]
Famous for taking shots of nude crowds in public places, in 2011, Spencer Tunick took his photos at the lowest place on Earth, where?
A: Death Valley
B: Dead Sea
C: Caspian Sea
D: South Pole

Seth says A... but it's B! As a result, he leaves with $1,000.

Gene Hult (New York, NY) - Children's book author
His brother, Robert, is in the audience.

He eventually jumps the 6th question, which had $2,000. He has $43,600 in his bank through 7 when time runs out for today; Gene will be back tomorrow for more!
