Obscure sports trivia

Me either, until yesterday. I caught the end of the MLB Network show on the 1978 season and they mentioned him tearing it up in (I think) Game 5 when they were recapping the World Series.

 

Only two teams Clemens didn’t beat are the Braves and Dodgers.

He had six starts against the Braves. The first was as a Blue Jay in 1997, when he got off to an 11-0 start. He lost his next decision and went into that game against Atlanta 11-1. He went the distance, striking out 12 with no walks. Unfortunately the Jays were awful and couldn’t manage a run off Denny Neagle and lost 3-0.

 

Super Bowl 50 is the only Super Bowl without Roman numerals in its official name.

 

First Heisman winner to have a college football stadium named after him? (Likely only as well)

 

Nile Kinnick.

 

Bam. Nailed it

 

I was watching the Cubs-Cards 23-22 game on MLB the other day. There were three pitchers in the game who recorded the last out of a World Series. Name them, and no cheating!

 

Year?

 

One is definitely Bruce Sutter. My stabs at the other two (no peeking, I swear): Darold Knowles and Willie Hernandez.

 

Sutter and Hernandez, (not yet Willie) yes. I thought Hernandez was the tough one.

 

One has to be tug McGraw. Bruce Sutter could be another.

 

Yes, McGraw, Sutter and Hernandez.

Extra credit: Donnie Moore had a triple in the 23-22 game and batted like .280 for his career.
