Sweet Leaf - Sabbath

Yup, that's drums and guitar. The last one is just in a lyric.

Counting the hockey team as one person, how many Americans won gold medals at the 1980 Winter Olympics?

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Mon Aug 02, 2021 11:19 am

Four?

Just looked up the answer after posting.

I’ll guess 6

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon Aug 02, 2021 11:46 am

It is 2. They hockeyers and Eric Heiden led the US to the 3rd most golds at the games. There were...not a lot of events.

EdRomero · Post by **EdRomero** » Mon Aug 02, 2021 11:53 am

Based on Mike Eruzione appearances in the last 40 years, the team should count for way more than one medal.

GoodKarma · Post by **GoodKarma** » Mon Aug 02, 2021 1:32 pm

Pure guess on my part...figured it had to be something ridiculous.

I'm gonna map these because I have so much free time, but let's start with this:

What current MLB city is about 20 miles south of the average location of every World Series winner?

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:48 pm

I'm guessing something way more north than you'd think at first. Cincinnati?

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:49 pm

Well that was fun

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Wed Oct 27, 2021 2:50 pm

Was that right? Immediate thought afterward was that I should have gone more north.

Saw that this was the first World Series featuring two teams in states that were part of the Confederacy.

I have no idea how you'd even research this to find out if its ever happened before or since, but I saw this today*: When the Yankees traded Sheffield to Detroit after the 2006 season, they received three pitching prospects in return. All three eventually made it to the majors, but they combined for less than a full game (8 2/3 innings total).

* There's a new solo album by the guy from The Wrens, his name is Kevin Whelan. That name sounded familiar in a different way so I looked and a different Kevin Whelan was one of the three pitchers in the trade.

Since 1980, 5 pitchers have won ROTY and appeared in the WS in same season.

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 7:38 pm

Fernando Valenzuela, Dontrelle Willis, Justin Verlander. Not sure of the others

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 7:40 pm

Duh. Righetti. The fifth one is a bitch

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 7:43 pm

Yup those 4 are correct.

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 8:39 pm

I went down a rabbit hole looking for position players that might’ve won the ROTY award who tossed a garbage inning during a blowout loss and then stumbled on the correct answer.

1980 and forward. Vida Blue would’ve been a rookie right around the Great Depression, no?

SC remembers the 1880s, so give the man a break.

Name the three current Big 4 sports cities that have had an MVP but not this century

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Sun Jul 24, 2022 10:52 am

One of them is New York right?

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Sun Jul 24, 2022 11:17 am

Do you mean Big 4 as in they have one in all four leagues, or at least one in any of the four? Because if it’s the latter, than one answer is:

[+] spoiler: Portland (Bill Walton, 1977)

Portland (Bill Walton, 1977)

At least one team in any sport. Portland is correct and by far the biggest drought.

Josh Hamilton 2010 is the most recent for “Dallas”

Atlanta's a bit of a cheat... but

I think the other two are
