You are getting a very close on the first one.
But you are getting even cooler on the last. I could give a different picture for the last word if you need another hint.

OK, for that last picture- use this one for the last word. Same thing.
"Fasten those seatbelts"-Pat Hughes
OK last hint for this one.
It’s an acronym used quite alot around here. If you pronounced it, it would sound similiar to this picture.png)

The answer is
Harry Caray: Marshall is going back to LA to get cocaine for his injured foot.
Steve Stone: Harry, that’s Novocaine.

Has this one been done yet?
I am German by ancestry. On November 9, I will be joining my fellow Germans in celebrating the 20th anniversary of Die Mauerfall. I have been to Berlin, seen what remains of the Wall, and seen the line where the Wall once divided the city.

A hint about that one: I am omitting the person's nickname.

IS it he who shall not be named?
He was done yesterday. Al averted his eyes…

Nope.
I posted his nickname. Should be easy now.

Apparently you don't get it
The subject is persona non grate at BCB. That’s why people call him “he who shall not be named.”

I was hoping it
was. He was my favorite player when I was a kid. Don’t ask me why, but I had a crush on him of all people. I think at the time I may have just had a thing for catchers.

Kinda hard to tell what this one is ... the second picture, all I see is a red "X".

I like these when we do them.
Unfortunately, I saw a game in August when the other guys did this. Still hurts, that game does.

OT:
Zeke, I don’t get Michigan vs. Wisconsin today. I’m watching Michigan State vs. Purdue. Michigan State took a 7-0 lead with less than a minute elapsed in the game due to a fumble return for a touchdown.

How about this one? It's hard. Hint: Old time guy...
Now only 12,859 on the "Cubs Season Tickets Waiting List"...
That one was hard.
It was those Ding Dongs that gave it away. You win the prize for finding that second picture. That one had me way off track at first. Doing Al’s “this Old Cub” also helped because it had me thinking along the lines of early baseball. I have a harder time with the ones that are from the nineteen-ninties. Between having two babies and the strike somewhat turning me off I missed most of that decade.

Once I found that second picture, I had to refigure the third one a bit from what I originally planned.
But muppets always deserve a post where possible.

Here's another player one. Should be simple enough...

Player from the 20th century (The first set is his name, the second set is his "nickname")...
That should narrow it down!
And now his ‘nickname’:

Nice.
I used to love Shari Lewis. Didn’t know his nickname. This is becoming quite educational.

Woo hoo. Got this one
right away. Even though the middle picture doesn’t show-I’m pretty sure what it must be-this scene comes to mind. Learned yet another nickname.

Yep. I used a certain cartoon character for #2 (which should have shown up, grrrrr), but you got it.
