Listener No 4327 The Alcoholic Baseball Player By Waterloo
38 Answers
Hoho!! Cracker-style literary jokes from Mr Waterloo ... some suitably making one groan, others raising a broad smile: I particularly liked 40ac. Gentle romp. Happy New Year to all ABers and many thanks to Waterloo.

Perhaps the absolute rigour of proving that you've dotted every i and crossed every t is missing - but the puzzle raised a good few smiles here, which is no bad thing on a dreary 'post festive' weekend?

Surely by default of its appearing in the Listener series it's "up to Listener standards". Or at least the editors seemed to think so. Possibly his being a long-time setter helps bias things his way, but all the same. I thought it was fun, and certainly it's not often my Mum can enjoy the solving process alongside. I had to back-solve most of the titles from the forced, or almost-forced, entries, which is perhaps not what was intended, but all the same it got the new year off to a gentle start. And after the ongoing nightmare of working out what Sabre wanted to go in the middle column, I could do with that thank you.
