#30 - John van Benschoten. Former Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher and he is now in the Padres minor league system. Benschoten has a career 2-13 record and 9.20 earned run average. Why is he on here you may ask? Because in an alternate reality where the Pirates won back-to-back World Series titles in 2008 and 2009, where Zach Duke set the single season strikeout record and Jason Bay won NL MVP and Nick Swisher, Cliff Floyd and Matt Cain all had career years for the Pirates and where Mike Gonzalez saved 40 games with a stellar bullpen behind him featuring John Grabow, Jonah Bayliss and look at that, John van Benschoten.
#29 - Ferris Bueller. Leisure rules for Ferris. Bueller was portrayed by Matthew Broderick and he took a day off from school and was legendary. Sausage king of Chicago? Cubs game? Twist and shout? Amazing. Save Ferris.
#28 - Anthony Melchiorri. The host of Hotel Impossible on Travel Channel. He is so aggressive and assertive in his attempts to better the hotel. I think his personality is what makes Hotel Impossible so addicting.
#27 - Rhod Gilbert. The performer of the funniest stand up comedy routine ever. Ever. The three plus minute showing about his luggage gone wrong is the most hilarious thing ever. He should be proud of his hilarity.
#26 - Zooey Deschanel. Adorkable? Maybe on New Girl, but her role in Elf was far from New Girl. She doesn't look at all like she does now! Definitely one of my favorite actresses.
#25 - Ron Swanson. The man's man. He likes bacon and eggs. He only owns one bowl. He also loves scavenger hunts. Portrayed by Nick Offerman, Swanson has quickly become a favorite among television lovers and a favorite among people.
#24 - Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli. Ayyyy! The coolest man in the 1950s AND (technically because of Henry Winkler) the 1970s. Not many people can say that. He can make a jukebox work with a single punch. That should say enough. Ayyyy!
#23 - Dan Andelman. The fantastic host of Phantom Gourmet. He's like the New England version of Adam Richman! The New England food lover has showcased many awesome places such as When Pigs Fly and Yummies. Keep on keeping on, Andelman.
#22 - John D. Ryder. The best person on WEEI. He hosts Celtics and Red Sox Rewind. He's responded to multiple tweets and texts from me. He's an all around great guy with a great voice. John D. Ryder is a beast warrior legend.
#21 - Kevin Millar. Such a lovable idiot. He was a key piece of the 2004 Reverse the Curse World Series Red Sox team. He coined the Idiots and Cowboy Up. A great guy to have in the clubhouse, I imagine. If I wasn't six years old in 2004, he probably would have been my favorite. I'm sure Pedroia is a good heir to the number 15.
We get closer and closer tomorrow! The last one before the final one!
Another cool bunch. Some I don't know of, but glad to see your pics!
