Obscure sports trivia

Since no one answered. the rams drafted Roman Gabriel, Terry Baker and Bill Munson in a row in the early 1960. Oddly, all made the team so it wasn’t like they were losing these guys to the afl?

 

Two-parter: In 1977, Ted Turner famously managed for one game. Who did he replace? Second part, who replaced Turner for one game before the original manager came back?

 

I know Dave Bristol is the answer to the first part.....

 

And they all played in 1964, after Zeke Bratkowski went to Green Bay as the backup to Starr. Did not know that Gabriel didn't really hit his stride until George Allen made him the No. 1. The Rams then sent Munson to Detroit for Pat Studstill and Milt Plum, where he and Landry continued the mediocrity.

 

Bristol was the main manager. Other guy is really obscure. Like Turner, he only had one game, which the Braves won and gave a perfect career record.

 

I’ve always felt there was someone in management going, “hey, we won a lot games splitting between waterfield and Van Brocklin back in the day, let’s do it again.” Though, it appears that Baker was drafted as more of an “athlete” than a qb.

 

In the video for Glory Days, who does Bruce Springsteen allege “got him” in the bottom of the ninth when pitching to his son at the end?

 

Graig Nettles.

Boom. For years, I swore he said Jack Clark, but the power of YouTube says nettles. I guess the boss was giving props to a former yankee favorite of his?

 

I think baron got it, but holy crap that is one hell of a stat pull.
