17. What is the name of the ringer who almost beats the Benchwarmers?
From Quiz "The Benchwarmers": Baseball Blunders
Answer:
Carlos
Carlos (Amaury Nolasco) is recruited by Wayne, who is desperate to beat the Benchwarmers in the semi-final round of the tournament. Carlos is from the Dominican Republic, and claims to be twelve, even though he has a beard and a daughter. He carries around a piece of paper that he claims is his birth certificate, but it just has his picture glued to it and has "I am 12" written in green crayon. He is a spectacular hitter, pitcher, and fielder, but the Benchwarmers discover that he has a drinking problem, and give him beer and tequila. Carlos gets so drunk, he can't concentrate on the game. In the last inning, Gus, Richie, and Clark all manage to get on base with the score tied, so Howie has to be go up to bat. He is terrified at first, but the crowd starts cheering for him, and he gains confidence. Carlos then beans Howie in the shoulder, and Howie acts like he has had his arm shot off. But, this allows the Benchwarmers to get into the final round of the tournament.
