RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 12-27-2021
In 1978 Congress passed a resolution promoting an American war hero after he was in the grave. What hero, what rank and what was special about his continuing service in the Army.
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 12-27-2021
George Washington. Made General Of The Armies (six star) by Congress in 1978. Only other six star was Pershing. Washington out ranks Black Jack because he never was retired from the U.S. military. Bradley was the last five star.
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 12-28-2021
He suffered from asthma, was once in the banking business, was the chief executive of what became Louisiana State University, became Secretary of War for a short time and was called the “First Modern General.” Who was he?

Pinson and Robinson next to each other (CF and RF) for seven full seasons.
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 12-30-2021
Lombardi eight time all star. What Mack grad had a lights out season for the ABA Oaks and then retired?
A- Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.
Abner Doubleday is in the Hall of Fame. Most don't recognize him as the Father of Baseball. As a Union general at Gettysburg he took over command of I Corps which included a famous regiment.
What regiment?
Why did he assume command on Day 1 Gettysburg?
Who relieved him later that day? Who took command of the Corps?
Who commanded II Corps which included the units defending Cemetery Ridge?

I think Serra is the only Bay Area school that can somewhat hang with McClymonds. Not as much depth. Bonds and Greg Jeffries in baseball. Swann and Brady in football. I suspect there are others.
Edit: Just looked at Serra HOF. Left off a biggie. I’ll let our historians answer. I am sure Phogge and Bobk will know.

Jim Fergosi .
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 12-30-2021
It’s Fregosi. Played against Danny Frisella a couple of times. Died way too young.

Like Patton says, “Probably.”
I was talking to Longstreet around a campfire. “Let’s drug the Old Man and he’ll wake up and forget all about the charge.”
