You'll hear baseball players frequently scream, "I Got It", to call off
their teammates on a pop up or lazy fly. Of course, these days, you're
just as likely to hear "Yo lo tengo" or just "Lo tengo" with the
increase in Hispanic ballplayers. As a side note, my favorite song on
the "Boys on the Side" soundtrack is "You Got It", but did they have to
include three versions of it on the album?
[Need help on playing Quiz Quilt? I got it right here:

CATEGORY QUESTIONS:

Quilt is EUREKA, second letter up.
Eureka is a city on the far northern California coast. Yreka is a city
in the interior, up near the California-Oregon border, not too far from
Eureka. You'd think that somewhere in between these two would be places
named Vreka and Wreka. Unfortunately, they don't exist.
