Bryce Harper and Joey Gallo. Kris Bryant is around the same age and also grew up in Las Vegas working out with those guys.

Joey Jay was the first Little Leaguer to advance to the major leagues.

When Mick says don’t look too far he means it for the high school Super Bowl players.

What's happened to you guys. Spending the last two days watching the Stanford Frisbee team? Doing quantum physics exercises? Reading Kant? Taking selfies with your Phi Beta Kappa keys? Counting your losses from your grandfather's trust account?

Brian Sipe, NFL 1980 MYP, played on the El Cajon 1961 Little League WS Champs.

Ginobili is correct. Pettit never played in Europe.

JK. No idea unless it’s Nowitski but I don’t think that the Germans won a gold medal.

Nowitzki never played in the Euroleague. He only played as high as the 2.Bundesliga before he was discovered and came over to the NBA.

Orville Wright was the first person to pilot an airplane (really a motorized glider that didn't achieve equilibrium, but still pretty impressive for the first effort).  

Who was the pilot on Orville Wright's last flight?

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 02-20-2022

Wilbur? Orville? Eddie Rickenbacher? Billy Mitchell? Ted Lawson? Jimmy Doolittle? Leslie Nielsen?

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 02-20-2022

Jim Thrope he did it all

All really good answers.  Rickenbacker would have been cool.

After setting an air-speed record in a prototype Constellation, Howard Hughes landed in Dayton, Ohio to give Orville Wright his last airplane ride, in said Constellation.

My father was director of photography at North American Aviation during the war. He attended the flight of the Spruce Goose as a rep of an important defense contractor (B25, P51). First time I heard of the Jane Russell bra construction was from him. He idolized Hughes.

Bobbbbbbb, good guess but no. Hint: I would have expected Mick to get it.
