In other words, it can STILL go either way without there being a grammer mistake.

The use of a comma before "and" is a serial comma. Personally, I prefer this, but it's technically a matter of what style guide you use. In any case, in reference to the game clue, using a serial comma in this year's clue would've been
incorrect.
The clue says: "
between Pi, You and Me"
"Between" is used for two subjects and thus they are "Pi" and "You and Me". If you had a comma before the "and Me", the word "between" would need to have been replaced with "among". I don't seen anything left to intepretation in the clue other than its meaning. The grammar's fine.
On another note, I lived in Cleveland for five years, during the 95 & 97 World Series... GO INDIANS! And does anyone else agree that the baseball references probably were used this year due to the Red Sox?
