How do sports stars fit in?
  | Animal I most resemble | Sudoku is … | Favorite '80s song | News story you're sick of | Concert you'd like to attend this summer | Has seen The Da Vinci Code |
JUSTIN VERLANDER Tigers P | A "liger." A lion and tiger mix | That numbers game. I suck at it | You Spin Me Round (Dead or Alive) | Gas prices | Not a big concertgoer | No |
TAMIKA WHITMORE Fever F | Koala bear | A headache | Anything by Tina Turner | Everything with the Iraq war | Anthony Hamilton | Yes. I'd give it 3 1/2 stars |
SHAWN HORCOFF Oilers C | A hawk. That's my nickname. It's my nose | Addictive | More Than a Feeling (Boston, 1976) | Nick and Jessica | Pearl Jam | Yes. It's not great. 2 1/2 stars |
MATT HOLLIDAY Rockies LF | A lion | For smart people | I can't think of one. I'm not a fan of the '80s | The Barry Bonds steroid scandal | Dave Matthews | Yes. Three stars |
