What large animal appeared indoors at the 1972 Oakland press party the night before the World Series?    Mule?



RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 04-18-2022

Mule is correct. In fact his name was Charlie O.

Cincinnati not correct. Good guess as they are the oldest team.

Ya can’t touch this. But Phogge nailed it

The "Hot Dachshund" was first served to patrons of the St. Louis Browns in the 1880's.
Henry Stevens invented the official scorecard. Stevens Inc was the first large provider of eats and drinks in MLB starting in the 1900's. Stevens continued to be the vendor at Candlestick Park for decades.

Rich Karlis was the last barefoot placekicker in the NFL.

Before Flutie's dropkick conversion in 2006 the last dropkick was made by Scooter McLean in 1941.

The first recorded item re lemonade stands was by the New York Times which noted that a bartender took advantage of a hot NYC day to take his wears outside. There is an article in the Palo Alto Times in 1950 of a certain Robert K being robbed of his lemonade pennies by a gang of "masked juveniles."

Mickey Mantle?


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 04-19-2022

HRs both sides of the plate same inning. Ah Robert K knows this. Almost. Carlos B. Something I couldn’t spell it anyway so Carlos B


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 04-19-2022

Carlos Baerga. He was going to be a superstar and then flamed out.


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 04-19-2022

First 3 pointer: Chris Ford, Celtics.

First two point conversion: Tom Tupa.


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 04-20-2022

Who was the first MLB player to homer in 4 different decades ?


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 04-20-2022

I know that there are 20 or 30 who played in four. Off the top I remember:

Ted Williams
McCovey
Mays
Mickey Vernon
Ricky H
Minoso
Fisk
Buckner
????????????????

I think Eddie Collins must have played in four but he was a singles hitter. There has to be more plus a few pitchers.


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 04-20-2022

Teddy Ballgame was the first.


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 04-21-2022

On Nov. 1, 1946 the first NBA basket was scored. Who made the shot?

Wrong bomber. George Metesky was the Mad Bomber.
