Correct. He recently died at the age of 95, and his daughter is taking over his ceremonial role.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 05-03-2022
John Brodie drafted before Brown so I’m guessing Jon Arnett is one

Yes, Jon Arnett from USC was the hard one, drafted ahead of Jim Brown.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 05-03-2022
I’ll always remember Arnett as he was ineligible for half of either his Sr or Jr year
Lol don’t tell me the Voldemort Trophy winner Paul Horning. Maybe became a running back but he was a QB in college
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 05-03-2022
I'm guessing Jim Swink.
Arnett missed the second half of his senior year because of the cheating scandal over money paid to players at SC, UCLA and Washington. Seniors in 1956 were only allowed to play the first five games scheduled or the second half and the teams were barred from the Rose Bowl. Thus Arnett played the first five and FB CR Roberts the last five. Stanford had a chance but lost to Oregon State (who would go to the RB to lose to Iowa) and then their season fell apart. The next year they lost to Oregon by a point and Oregon went on to lose to OSU 10-7.
Cal had some sanctions over the Ronnie Knox business but no RB ban.

Yes, the Golden Boy drafted first overall, Jon Arnett second, John Brodie third. Jim Brown sixth after Ron Kramer and Len Dawson. Jim Parker eighth, so four hall for famers in the first eight picks.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 05-03-2022
I looked and knew this but the Golden Boy was drafted as a half back
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 05-04-2022
What a travesty. Typical writers worshipping at the feet of the Domers. Jim Brown by far the best. Scored 27 points himself in the Cotton Bowl loss to Swink and TCU 28-27.
Voters again in Ertz year. Zach is the Consensus All America TE but the voters gave the Mackey to the Domer.
Rudy can stick it up his azz.

In honor of the two of you who follow hockey who is the NHL career leader in penalty minutes?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 05-06-2022
Tiger Williams.

12 baseball managers have won 2,000 or more games. For 7 all their wins were post WW2. Name them?
For 2 some of their wins or most were post WW2 name them?

Pre and Post WW2: Harris, McCarthy, Durocher
Just looked at your question again. Think there were three who managed both before and after WW2.
Actually just thought that Mack was post WW2 also meaning four.
That leaves McGraw as the only one who didn't manage after, dead.
There are 33 members of the 3,000 hit club. Who is #34 and how close did he become?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 05-06-2022
I never even looked at McCarthy Red soc 1948-50
Mack retired 1950.
You win again
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BostonCard - 05-06-2022
Now that Cabrera got his 3000th hit, Sam Rice is the closest, 13 hits away. Roberto Clemente sadly died in a plane crash at 3,000 on the nose.

Who is the only Derby winner to retire undefeated?
Note: Barbaro broke down in the Preakness but officially started.

Drug test-failing Justify, trained by the great sportsman Bob Baffert.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 05-08-2022
So was Bonds.

Inspired by this quote from Dusty Baker:

Bonds broke Aaron’s record, and Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s record, but who had the career home run record before Babe Ruth broke it?

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 05-09-2022
Well Ruth broke it many times if this is a trick question. But that’s all I have
