<p>Hey, yall!  I need some help with another Sierra Trading Post riddle.  So far, members on this forum have a 100% succes rate with these things.  Here it is:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had he taken a second, this boney teen could have avoided a blunder.  Name the teen and the year.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have no idea where this one is going.  I'm not sure whether the "second" is a time thing or a place thing, as in second place.  Any ideas?</p>

<p>Thanks Reg. I would love to say that I knew the answer off the top of my head but alas, it was the power of Google that prevailed. It is an interesting tidbit of sports trivia though!</p>

<p>But that was some class A googling (unless of course, you went with "Sierra Trading Post" "free shipping" "answer") ...<span><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>See, that what I should have googled!  Instead I think what hit it was "teen second base blunder". I figured it was probably a baseball reference and not time.</p>

 

[KitKat]

<p>And lets just say that some of the other hits for "teen second base blunder" were most definitely not baseball related! <span><img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
