    Keeping the family theme, Skid Row lead singer Sebastian Bach has a brother who played in the NHL. Who is he?

    Ok, I know Bach is a Canadian and has claimed to be among the first, if not the first, official fan club member of Rush. Assuming Bach isn’t his real name since I don’t remember any NHL players names Bach from the late 1980s and early 1990s, I’ll guess Marty McSorley because why the hell not.

    That’s a great guess and I wish it was correct, but alas, it’s not him.

    Brain fart, I knew that answer and knew that Billie Jean Minton did not sound right.

    Since 1900, what three pitchers have led their league in wins in at least two consecutive years and then followed up by leading their league in losses. Two are Hall of Famers, and the third won a Cy Young.

    That sounds like a Phil Niekro question, but I don't think he ever led the league in wins two years in a row.

    It could also be a Wilbur Wood question.

    Another guess: Robin Roberts, who pitched a lot of innings for some really bad Phillies teams.

    Wilbur came close. He led back-to-back, lost 19 games the next year which wasn’t enough so he lost 20 the following year to lead the league in losses.

    Roberts is one of the three. Led the league in wins four years in a row, before leading the league in losses twice.

    Niekro famously led the league in wins and losses in one year so he doesn’t make the cut.
