Thursday Trivia

Bizarre. I was thinking of this song earlier today, and I have no idea why.

 

Updated with some correct answers.

Not Piazza, but this guy is also of Italian ancestry and also has six letters in his last name, that's a pretty darn good hint.

Phelps is not a college athlete. I suppose Bannister migh thave been, so I should have said, "American college athletes."

Not Len Barker.

 

Is the last answer for question 4 Rafer Johnson?

 

Mel Harder!

 

5. Sudden Sam McDowell

 

That's what she said.

 

Rafer's wrong for the SI answer, and it's not Mel Harder or Sudden Sam for the Indians' question In fact, I accidentally included an extra letter in his last name. But here's a hint, he played college baseball at a basketball school.

 

Doug Jones?

 

Nope.

The SI guy played football at a basketball school. And one of the backup astronaut later did fly with Lovell.

 

Fuckin Paul Shuey of the University of North Carolina.

 

Shuey it is, 10.04 Ks per nine innings. I'll update with final answers, thanks for playing.

 

Did anybody get Gaetti in 1993 while with the Royals?
