Yeah, absolutely. I know when I played Chuck, I tried for a real moment of surprise when Fran was able to throw basketball stats at me.

I think especially in 1968/69 that Chuck would not have expected Fran to be interested in basketball (or any sport).

and they often note with some surprise how I know more about the game than they do.

As a football-addicted schoolgirl in 1968-69, I know damn well I freaked out all the boys in my class. Hell, I even pitched a FIT when my school held a father-son pancake breakfast at which a Los Angeles Ram running back (one of my faves) was the invited guest. They didn't let me attend, but I got to meet him in private and he signed my scrapbook.

So, yeah, Fran's knowledge marks her as out of the ordinary, and worthy of a great number to celebrate that.
