I'll say Panama Canal. I think it was built around that time. I think the Brooklyn Bridge was finished by the 1890s.

Perot finished second in Maine and Utah, so that's something. Nader, I'm pretty sure, didn't break 5 or 6% anywhere.

Today's final Jeopardy category was Baseball History.

"For 30 years, this non-California based team held their spring training on Catalina Island."

I had absolutely no clue, but made a complete guess and got it right. All three contestants got it wrong.

I'm terrible at this game. I couldn't remember Melbourne and even though I knew Mexico was wrong, would have written that. And I would never have narcolepsy on live TV let alone where that suit and mustache.

Name the only MLB team whose name's first four letters are the same as the first four letters as the city they play in.

I saw that earlier myself. I got it, but it didn't come to me immediately. Then I was embarrassed that it didn't.

Those are easy though, perhaps so easy the contestants overthink them and second guess themselves?
