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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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:
