Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼I had to look this one up and engage four of our seven puzzle editors in order to understand the answer (don’t judge, I don’t follow baseball). The entry for the clue [It might be mashed (in more ways than one!)] is TATER, which is slang for potato. I am all about the food, so I easily understood the reference to mashed potatoes. Then I tried to imagine what other ways one might mash a TATER. By jumping up and down on it, like when people stomp grapes? That didn’t seem likely. How about the 1960s dance craze known as the Mashed Potato? No, that wasn’t it. Out of ideas, I turned to the puzzle editors, who patiently explained to me that, in baseball, a TATER is a home run and that “mashing” it means hitting the ball very hard.
