J. Chitwood from Tampa, Florida: “I’m a safe-driving consultant…I’ve crashed more than 3000 cars on purpose”                 
Steve shows the panel one of his gruesome crashes before the game, treating it as though it was an accident.  Joie (pronounced “joey”) Chitwood was a race car driver who also operated the “Joie Chitwood Thrill Show,” a traveling exhibition of stunt driving. In addition to his popular attraction, he also worked as a stuntman for Hollywood and as a safety consultant.  His son would follow in his footsteps and kept the Thrill Show touring until 1998.  His grandson, Joie Chitwood III, would move up the executive ranks in racing, becoming CEO of the International Speedway Corporation.   

Mr X: “He pitched against me when I was with the Dodgers” and Warren Spahn of the New York Mets: “I also pitched against his father when he was a Dodger…23 years ago” 
Doug Camilli, a catcher, played five seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but at this point in his career is on the Washington Senators roster.  Spahn pitched against him in 1962.  Dolph Camilli was a first baseman who played for several teams in a thirteen year career during the 30s and 40s, including the Brooklyn Dodgers.  Spahn pitched against him in 1942, Spahn’s rookie season.  The legendary Spahn, better known for his 25-year career with the Braves organization in Boston and Milwaukee, is 44 years old here and in his final major league season.  He would become a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer in 1973.   

Special guest Sam Levenson returns for what has become an annual tradition of quizzing the panel on grammar school material.  This time he brings fourth grade level questions.  Levenson’s autobiography Everything but Money (Simon & Schuster 1966) is about to be released.
