Finishing before starting another. Ok Al Lopez was the Cleveland Manager and is in the Hall of Fame

Wild guess to BC Robin Roberts

Scott Rolen

RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - Mick - 02-11-2025

I would have said Thome.

RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - Giants - 02-11-2025

The key to the question is “as a Philly”.  Rolen went into the Hall as a Cardinal and Thome as a Cleveland player.

RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - BostonCard - 02-11-2025

The player was inducted in 1996; Mike Schmidt was inducted in 1995.

Richie Ashburn

RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - BostonCard - 02-11-2025

Ashburn was inducted in 1995.

Two additional hints, he was a pitcher, and he was inducted by the Veterans Committee.

There's a big hint if you guys are still struggling, but it would probably give it away, so I'll give folks a little more time.

Yes, the hint was going to be that this hall of famer went on to become a US Senator.

Pretty good run for the Phillies. Steve Carlton went in in 1994 as a Phillie. I was 9 years old when he went 27-10, and the rest of the Phillies went 32-87, finishing last in the division. 

Rumor I heard is that the Giants turned down a trade offer of Steve Carlton for Bobby Bonds in 1974. Carlton led the league in strikeouts that year. Bonds had led the league in strikeouts -- of the swinging variety -- the year before.

Alright, so the Chiefs did not three peat, which means no NFL team has.  However, two individual players have won three consecutive Super Bowls.  Who are they?

Had the Chiefs won the game, how many players would have become three-time consecutive Super Bowl Champs?

If the Chiefs had won, I would guess from 35-45 would be 3x consecutive champs.

No idea on the three consecutive super bowls.

I know Ken Norton Jr. is one.  #2 - Charles Haley?  Those names bring back great memories of the years when SF and Dallas dominated the league.

RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - BostonCard - 02-11-2025

Ken Norton is correct; he won the Super Bowl in 1992 and 1993 as a Cowboy (boo) and 1994 as a Niner (yeah!).  Now the second one...

@Mick, it's a little high on the numbers, but a pretty reasonable guess.  29 Chiefs have been on the team for the last three years and would have won their third consecutive Super Bowl.

RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - BostonCard - 02-12-2025

To be fair, the second one is a bit obscure; Eagles back-up offensive lineman Darien Kinnard. Kinnard was with KC in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, serving appearing in 1 game in 2022 and being a practice squad player (but still getting a ring) last year.  He saw action in two games for the Eagles this season.

Not bad, three career games played, three Super Bowl rings.

Like Ralph Houk of the Yankees. Six World Series rings, played eight years and fewer than 10 at bats in six of the eight.

Pretty good manager, two WS wins in a row for the Yanks, and a WS loss to the Dodgers. He rose to the rank of Major in WWII (the source of his Yankees nickname). He was a combat veteran of Bastogne and the Battle of the Bulge, and was awarded the Silver Star with an Oak Leaf Cluster, the Bronze Star with an Oak Leaf Cluster and Purple Heart.

We heard a lot last week about Kansas City's attempt to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls. 

However, there already have been two occasions on which a team won three straight NFL championships. Which teams were they, which years did they three-peat, who were their coaches, and what were their home stadiums?

I would guess Halas' Bears in the 1920s or 1930s, Soldier Field. Cleveland Browns immediately post AAFC-NFL merger with Automatic Otto Graham, GOAT, late 1940s and 1950s. Paul Brown. No idea what their stadium was called.

If it wasn't the Bears and Browns, I'd say Giants or Eagles.
