    It can't possibly be this far back, but I will say 1962 Giants-Yankees.

    I'll guess they beat the Yankees, and Gaylord Perry was the winning pitcher.

    I was thinking yesterday Perry would be a good guess.

    Probably not obscure, but I heard this trivia question on the Celtics radio broadcast last night. Who are the only NBA players to score 10,000 points for two different teams? The anouncer said there were four (maybe three) but I can find only two. I was surprised by some of the players I thought would be the answer weren't.

    Maybe the announcer's criteria were different.

    Sorry If this trivia was already discussed.

    You're correct in that it wasn't that far back.

    Kareem is one, right? With the Bucks and Lakers?

    Is Wilt the other? He didn't score as much for the Lakers and didn't play for the Sixers that long (plus he had that year he decided to prove he could pass and led the league in assists), so maybe not. But he's still Wilt.

    Brewers-Cardinals in 1982? Seriously, I'm stumped, has to be a 7-game series so it can't be 1987 or 1991 because the Twins never lost a home game.

    Not Brewers-Cardinals, because the Cards had to win the last two in St. Louis to take the series. However, I'm stumped too without looking it up.

    In my mind I thought it was something recent and involved the Astros. I checked and 2017 vs. the Dodgers went 7, but the Astros won Games 2 and 3.

    Elvin Hayes
    Barkley
    LeBron
    Sikma
    Gilmore

    Those would be the ones I would check first after the two you mentioned.
