Want to make sure I'm reading #6 correctly--does that include guys who played in a World Series before 1989, but managed their first one after that date?

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2014 - WEEK THREE
In. And, as a kind of corollary to the "movies we've never seen" discussion, even though I've read many books, none of them were written by Stephen King. And I've seen none of the movies based on his books (but at least I've heard of them.) So, yeah, I guessed on that one.

I named the only Disney resort I could remember for that question. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's the most common.

I have a love/hate relationship with that question. Having just stayed on property, I looked into all of them. I could name almost all of them, but have no idea what classification any fall into. I also have no idea if Deluxe is the best, or second from bottom with a Super-Ultra Deluxe and Mickey-tastical groupings.Brontoburglar wrote:I named the only Disney resort I could remember for that question.

Regarding the hockey question, if a franchise relocates, is it sill considered the same franchise?
