The PITA will come to me - IIRC it's a good kind of PITA.
Noodle has me stumped but in the past they've come to me when I'm not even thinking about it.

PITA came to me!!
I was thinking of the better shortstops left off the list and was like "Dan didn't include Maury Wills."
Then two minutes later it was like, "WAIT!!!!!!! That's the PITA!"

Noodle could be noodle bat which could be a lot of SS but Mario Mendoza would seem to engulf the group, though .200 would have been the clue for Mendoza.
