Batts 4: The Old Batt Blats

Continuing on with my previous post, and because of the “Bat Theme” in this series, lets venture now to the Batt surname wikipedia page.  From among the list there’s only one woman with the surname:

• Jacque Batt (died 2014), First Lady of Idaho 1995-1999)

And I wouldn’t have thought it a woman’s except for the “First Lady”.  Note the following info regarding her husband:

• Philip Eugene Batt (born March 4, 1927) 

 His birthday expands the cluster from my previous post:

 “March 4, __, May 4, June 4, July 4(x3), August 4(x2)/ 4th Day, Month Sequence” pattern cluster 

Bridging the April 4 gap, and because of the 4/4 numeric version, lets go straight to the year ‘44 of the notable deaths section re April 4 wiki page:

• 1944 - Morris H. Whitehouse, American architect (b. 1878)

So what are the chances of someone names Whitehouse cropping up on the tail of a US First Lady?!  Note from his wiki page:

•  Morris Homans Whitehouse (March 21, 1878 – April 4, 1944) 

Do note the cryptic “more rise ho(e) mans Whitehouse” in his name!!

Many more had been born in ‘44:

• 1944 – Magda Aelvoet, Belgian politician
• 1944 – Mary Kenny, Irish journalist, author, and playwright
• 1944 – Bob McDill, American country music songwriter
• 1944 – Craig T. Nelson, American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter
• 1944 – Nelson Prudêncio, Brazilian triple jumper and educator (d. 2012)
• 1944 – Toktamış Ateş, Turkish academician, political commentator, columnist and writer (d. 2013)

Only two have since died, note from their wikipedia pages:

• Nelson Prudêncio (April 4, 1944 – November 23, 2012) 
• Toktamış Ateş (4 April 1944 – 19 January 2013) 

November 23 is also the birthday of my mother and January 19 is the birthday of my brother
Do note the “Nelson(x2)” pattern cluster... a name that contains a cryptic “Neil son”/ “kneel son”.  To locate the intended 3rd Nelson, we venture to the Nelson (surname) wikipedia page, limiting our search to any David Nelson... either a baseball player or politician.  We arrive at:

• David Nelson (disambiguation), including people named Dave Nelson

First of all, note the only baseball player in the list:

• Dave Nelson ( (June 20, 1944 – April 22, 2018) US baseball player/sportscaster

AND, note his year of birth—’44!!  Keep in mind that the 4 shares the same key on my keyboard as the $ dollar sign.  His date of birth and death generates an “April 22, __, June 20/Day, Month Sequence” pattern cluster... with the gap being represented by May 21, since today is May 19, this is an addition to the “Timely” pattern cluster... and generating a “May 19, __, 21/Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  Note a David Nelson politician:

• David R. Nelson (politician) (born May 22, 1942), State Rep Massachusetts

And the cluster expands:

“May 19, __, 21, 22/Date Sequence” pattern cluster

This reminds me of another cluster that needs addressing, one that also concerns politicians (as per the two politicians born on the 22nd day and passed away on the 20 day so far in 2020 (January and February).

It’s also  interesting to note the “politician” element, what with Batt being a “First Lady”... and do note the “First” (aka 1/one/won).

So lets venture to the May 22 wikipedia page looking for a politician born on this day and still alive.

1945 – Bob Katter, Australian politician

• Robert Carl Katter (born 22 May 1945)

1949 – Valentin Inzko, Austrian diplomat

• Valentin Inzko (born 22 May 1949)

Hmmm, the surname Katter rhymes with “batter”!!  So what are the other rhyming words: fatter, flatter, hatter, latter, matter, natter, patter, platter, ratter, scatter, tatter.   While perusing the May 22 wiki page, a name caught my eye:

• 1959 – David Blatt, Israeli-American basketball player and coach

Not only a David, a name that’s significant to this series of post, butt it also contains a cryptic “day vid (see)”.  The name David is also an addition to the“Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern cluster... as in remove the “D” makes “avid” . Most of all, his surname Blatt rhymes with “bat(b)”... and remove the “l” from his surname makes “Batt”.  And Blatt is also an addition to the “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern cluster... as in remove a “t” makes “blat”:  

Blat: to utter loudly or foolishly : BLURT

• David Michael Blatt (born May 22, 1959)
