[Mike Ciance]

to look closely "between" George Burns, John Neun, and Pi Schwert, i looked at their middle names:

George Henry Burns
John Henry Neun
Pi Louis Schwert

did a search for "Henry Louis"
found a Henry Louis Aaron aka Hank Aaron (the baseball player)

Hank Aaron was born February 5th, making his birthstone Amethyst

one of his nicknames was "Hammer" - could the game have somethign to do with hammers or hammering?
