OT: Give your best sports trivia question (rules in thread)

[Jaydumo20]

This could get messy, but we're adults. Post one of your favorite sports trivia questions (without the answer). Try to post only one question, and if someone guesses correctly that's when you can reveal. Any sports counts. You can answer a question, post one of your own or do both: up to you.

Here's mine:
13 baseball players have won back to back mvps:
Every position on the field is represented at least once.

Some positions have multiple winners:

3 1st basement have won it
4 outfielders have won
And one guy who played all over the field.

Name all 13

Good luck and cheaters never win

What is the best CBB team in the country?

 

[CONN78SEJ]

Here’s three………

1) Name the MLB player holds the record for the most RBI’s in a season (191) and the player who had the 2nd most (185) in a season?

2) Who hit 58 HR’s in 1938?

3) Who had a batting average of 364, hit 58 HR’s and had 169 RBI’s in 1932.


No fair Googling

I think the RBI single season champ is Hack Wilson. Not sure about #2.

Not sure about 1938.

I think the 1932 slugger is Jimmie Foxx.

Who is the only 7th seed to win a national championship?

 

[Cassius Klaiber]

I think the RBI single season champ is Hack Wilson. Not sure about #2.

Not sure about 1938.

I think the 1932 slugger is Jimmie Foxx.

1938 was Hank Greenberg (thanks to an old video game I’d play)

Not sure about the #2 RBI guy though

 

[EZPass]

Too lazy to rephrase as a question lol

 

[storrsroars]

I got six off top of my head, embarrassed I missed 3b, and had another guy in the wrong position. I would've never gotten the pitcher.

My question: Steve Carlton is the all-time MLB leader in what two statistics?

It never fails that when given specific directions by the OP, one of the first five posts will ignore those directions.

1) Hack Wilson, Lou Gehrig (who had >170 rbi 3x)
2) Hank Greenberg
3) Jimmy Foxx

5) Gehrig
6) Pete Rose
7) Roger Maris
8) Frank Thomas
9) Johnny Bench
10) Joe Maurer
11) Cobb

Very good, I figured if a senile DF like me knew this you would too.

My question: Steve Carlton is the all-time MLB leader in what two statistics?

It's not any of the obvious one (strikeouts, wins), so I'm going to guess some esoteric things like pickoffs or errors by a pitcher.

 

[temery]

What family has had multiple (most) members play at the highest level in any Olympic sport? This includes the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, Olympic teams, and any NCAA championship team, etc.

(multi generation up to 1st cousins)

Just a guess, but most consecutive wins and lowest ERA for a lefty.

Boone family?

 

[TheShot1990]

Name the only college basketball player in history to both elbow Christian Laettner and also shove his head into the floor on a single play?

Nurse family?

 

[CL82]

Although that picture would seem to say otherwise, and looks wonderfully menacing, Sellers never elbowed Chrissy. That picture is of Sellers diving to the floor for the ball. Now, a moment later he did dribble Christian's head off the floor, but that was entirely deserved given that Laettner had stepped on his chest in a prior game.

 

[CL82]

Only two times has the same school won both the NCAA men's basketball basketball tournament championship in the NCAA women's basketball tournament championship. Name them.

Not exactly... Laettner stepped on Timberlake from UK. Laettner was just an astonishingly annoying person and beat us previously. More than enough reason for a head dribble.

Then he was a serial offender (which we all knew already.)

The Matthews have like 7 over 3 generations.

1B Frank Thomas, Pujols... Not sure on the third.
2B Joe Morgan
SS Ernie Banks?
3B Schmidt
OFs Mantle, Bonds, Dale Murphy, Maris
C Yogi or Bench

No idea on Pitcher
