Thursday Trivia IX

[Moderator1]

The Eight: Gary Alexander, Gary Thomasson, Dave Heaverlo, Alan Wirth, John Henry Johnson, Phil Huffman, $300,000 and a player to be named later (March 15, 1978) - A's received Mario Guerrero (April 7, 1978);

Except that is SEVEN plus the cash, so this must be the answer. I didn't cheat until I went to find the players. Honest!

Moddy,

Here's what I got from Baseball Reference:

March 15, 1978: Traded by the Oakland Athletics to the San Francisco Giants for a player to be named later, Gary Alexander, Gary Thomasson, Dave Heaverlo, Alan Wirth, John Henry Johnson, Phil Huffman, and $300,000. The San Francisco Giants sent Mario Guerrero (April 7, 1978) to the Oakland Athletics to complete the trade.

Maybe us guys from Three Chopt Tech aren't as smart as you VCU guys but I only count seven. ;D

 

[Moderator1]

Well, see my post above your smarty pants - I counted SEVEN, too. His bio said eight but they must have counted the cash as one.

And, no, you Three Chopt Tech guys ain't as smart as us-uns downtown.

3. Tony Oliva. Don't know why I remember that but I read it in a baseball encyclopedia some 10 years ago.

Thomasson also caught the final out to clinch the pennant for the Yanks against the Royals. Who hit the ball?

Final answers here:

The snapper on Tom Dempsey's 63-yard FG was Jackie Burkett.

And the man Eisenhower credits with winning WWII is Andrew Higgins, the inventor and manufactuerer of the LCVP, the landing craft/vehicle/personnel.

Aaaah.

Upon contemplation, believe Winnie uttered the phrases I referenced.
