Sports Trivia

Postby Trash Can » Fri Oct 01, 2004 4:45 am

Let me see if anyone out there can answer the following questions:

1) Name the only U.S. city where three of the teams from the four major sports (i.e. baseball, football, basketball, & hockey) have the same colors?

2) There are two people in the Baseball Hall of Fame that neither played, coached, umpired, owned a team, was a reporter, and generally had no allignment with baseball whatsoever. Name both of them.

3) Who's silhoutte is featured on the Major League baseball logo?

4) Which professional sport has the highest ratio of officials-to-participants?

5) Name the two days of the year in which there are no professional scheduled games in any of the four major sports (i.e. baseball, football, basketball, & hockey).

Bonus) In the recorded history of alll ski accidents, there is only one bone which has never been broken. In what region of the anatmony is this bone located?

For the questions you answered, you were correct. The information source from where I got this does not list New York for question #1 - don't know why

from BBHOF link .......

Who are the only members of the Hall of Fame that have nothing to do with baseball?

We often hear baseball fans ask the following trivia question: "Who are the only members of the Hall of Fame that have nothing to do with baseball?" The supposed answer is "Bud Abbott and Lou Costello." Actually, that answer isn't quite correct. Abbott and Costello are not members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, though the comedy duo is featured in our museum.

For a complete list of Hall of Famers, please check out our Hall of Famer Lists web page.

Furthermore, Abbott and Costello most certainly have a lot to do with baseball as they made popular one of the most famous and beloved comedy routines of all time: "Who's on First?"
