Name the four HOF members who played baseball at Columbia University.

Another player was the main character in a WW2 movie. Who?

I'll cherry pick the easy one - Lou Gehrig


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 12-15-2022

Hints:

An old department store not named Pennies.
Brooklyn.
Black Sox.

Koufax might have attended Columbia but while with the Dodgers


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 12-15-2022

Koufax did attend Columbia but transferred to Cincinnati where the Dodgers signed him. Don't know if he graduated. That's two. Black Sox and a pre 20th Century player.

Billy Beane? Or maybe Billy Bean?


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 12-15-2022

Koufax, Lou Gehrig, Eddie Collins, John Montgomery Ward.

The WW2 movie was, "the Catcher was a Spy." Moe Berg, grad of Columbia.


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 12-15-2022

I read the Moe Berg book and watched the movie. Just incredible story

Who made the longest fumble return in NFL history?

Whose record did he break?

I know that Jim Marshall went 66 yards with one ;)


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 12-17-2022

Abe Woodson 92 yards. I’m guessing of course

What 49er caught the pass then fumbled for Marshall to run the wrong way ?
