Nehemiah played three years, had 43 catches and at least one concussion.
Always want to hear Stanford connection stories. Was Bob Hayes at the USA vs. USSR meet?
Whiniest human ever -- I thought -- was Rick Barry, but he didn't play baseball.
Ty Cobb for cock-fighting.
Wilt Chamberlain played for Globetrotters for a year.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 03-06-2023

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Mick - 03-06-2023
One of the first baseball cards I ever had was Ron Reed, a 6'6", 215 pound pitcher for the Braves. He had a 19 year career in MLB and went the Dennis Eckersley route: first half as a starting pitcher, second half as a setup man. Had 146 victories and 103 saves. 3.46 career ERA, very solid. His last year as a starter led the league in fewest home runs given up. He was Atlanta's all-star representative in 1968 with an 11-10 record.
That was really his rookie year. He pitched two or three games in the two prior years because he was playing basketball for the Detroit Pistons. He was a second-team guy, playing 11-12 minutes a game. Good player, both as rebounder and scorer, kind of an Iguodala type. He was listed as 6'5" for the Pistons, so apparently he grew an inch.
Is Ron Reed the answer to one of your questions?

So was Burt Reynolds. There are a lot of players turned actors. Fred Williamson, Merlin Olson, too. Correct on Marichal, but you knew that. . . .
Should have been more specific. What baseball HOFer played for the Globetrotters?
In 1979, a girl in my freshman dorm was from Dallas, had gone to Hockaday Girls School and grew up in a fancy neighborhood. She lamented that during her childhood, her family had to move to another neighborhood. Why, I asked, and she told me her neighborhood had gone black. I didn't understand what she meant, and she explained that two black families had moved in. I was flabbergasted. Her parents ended up selling their home to Bob Hayes. . . .
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 03-06-2023
Phogge has the Marichal question and answer. I just didn’t include it
1979 and you weren’t aware? More on Saturday lol
Bob Gibson was a Globetrotter.
What Stanford WBB player was maybe still is a Globetrotter?

Naive. Grew up in Danville in a fairly nice neighborhood. Black family moved in nextdoor and never thought about it--just another family. Kudos to my parents for the right kind of upbringing.
Correct on Gibson.

Fouts.
Starr played for Bryant in the Blue Gray Game. . . .
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 03-06-2023
I don’t believe Bryant played Starr. He was still mad Starr didn’t go to Kentucky
Dan Fouts is correct. Dad Bob Fouts the long time back then 49er radio announcer
