And I thought it may be a tribute to the Chicago Cubs...but no answer for them?

Yeah, I assumed there would be something about the Cubs, and possibly about hell freezing over.

It kinda is a bit America-Centric to my opinion

Technically, Gandhi was not a world leader. Civil rights leader, inspiration for many pacifist movements - yes. Father of Indian independence, yes. But never a leader in the traditional sense.

Gandhi was certainly a world leader, both politically and spiritually.

Leader means someone who leads people. He sure did.

I think the term 'world leader' indicates somebody who became a head of government of head of state, rather than the leader of a national independence movement, even one as big and important as that of India. Still, Gandhi stands as such a 20th century giant that I think the question is essentially fair.

I posit many of us typed in Mandela just out of muscle memory - without thinking.

I think it's because the Chicago Cubs just won the World Series for the first time since 1908.

Tried lots of variations in and around "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" without nailing it - maybe offer a few type-in's there?

+1. I had "Take me back to the ball game" and then gave up on it, not being a baseball attendee and not knowing any other baseball songs.

Why isn't plane accepted for airplane? I mean I know it can also mean other stuff, but so can vacuum and that was accepted.

1908. Last time a baseball player stole 1st base. (player initially stole 2nd base in an attempt to draw a throw from the catcher, which would've allowed the runner on 3rd to attempt a steal of home plate...but the catcher didn't throw down to 2nd, so on the next pitch, the runner "stole" 1st base....on the next pitch, he tried stealing 2nd again, this time, drawing the throw, which allowed the runner on 3rd to successfully steal home.)

Huh, I've been studying Le Deuxieme Sexe at university and it didn't occur to me that "The Second Sex" is its English title. *facepalm*
