General Sports Trivia

[ftaisawesome]

Cub losses are pretty cool

 

[dishcomm]

All right.

Here they are:

1. The 1995-96 Milwaukee Bucks contributed to what historic NBA milestone?

They were on the wrong end of the Bulls' historic 70th win.

2. On January 22, 2006, two important football games and two meaningful basketball games coincided on the same day. Name the four events, the teams, and what made them so significant?

The Steelers/Broncos and Panthers/Seahawks played in their respective conference championship games.

The Sonics beat the Suns in a 152-149 shootout in double overtime.

The Lakers beat the Raptors in the game Kobe had 81 points.


What NHL team holds the record for most 100-point scorers in a single-season?

Five times overall by three different teams- they each had 4 100-point men.

The Oilers did it three times.

1982-83:

Wayne Gretzky (71-125-196)
Mark Messier (48-58-106)
Glenn Anderson (48-56-104)
Jari Kurri (45-59-104)

1983-84:

Wayne Gretzky (87-118-205)
Paul Coffey (40-86-126)

The Penguins did it in 1992-93:

Mario Lemieux (69-91-160)
Kevin Stevens (55-56-111)
Rick Tocchet (48-61-109)
Ron Francis (24-76-100)


Your Bruins did it in 1970-71:

Phil Esposito (76-76-152)
Bobby Orr (37-102-139)
Johnny Bucyk (51-65-116)
Ken Hodge (43-62-105)

I hope this takes care of everything.

Iverson said the word "practice' 19 or 20 more times during that presser..
YouTube - Iverson Practice!..

I'll try another question- hopefully, I'll provide the answers if nobody figures it out.

On March 2, 1993, two very significant moments occured in the NHL.

Can you name either or both of them?

(If nobody figures it out, I have the answers)

Gretzky scored his 802nd goal?...Or he scored his 1803rd point....Each mark a was held by Gordie Howe

 

[BillD1984]

Only four times in the history of the All-Star game has a player homered and stolen a base in the same game......name them.

 

[SabresRule]

Gretzky scored his 802nd goal?...Or he scored his 1803rd point....Each mark a was held by Gordie Howe

No.

The other answer to that question:

Teemu Selanne broke Mike Bossy's rookie goal-scoring record with #54.

That occured on the sane night that Lemieux returned from cancer.

Not for Trivia, but just wondered if anyone knows the answer to.....

The largest deficit (games back) that an MLB team came back from after being behind at the All-Star Break in to end up winning their division?

The 1978 Yankees were 11.5 games behind at the ASB. They also were in third place behind the Red Sox and Brewers (who were 9 games back). I don't know if this is the largest ASB deficit that was overcome, but it's got to be up there.

I just remembered the Rockies from last year. Didn't they win 21 games in a row in the second half of the season? I wonder where they were at the ASB?

The Rockies were 44-44 at last year's All-Star Break, only 5.5 games out.

The largest deficit (games back) that an MLB team came back from after being behind at the All-Star Break in to end up winning their division?

The '69 Mets were 9 1/2 games back of the Cubs on August 15th and won the NL East going away. They won 38 of their last 47 games.
Don't know if there's another team that came back from such large deficit in such a short time

 

[BillD1984]

Only four times in the history of the All-Star game has a player homered and stolen a base in the same game......name them.

I might as well give the answer, since no one has guessed:

Willie Mays- 1960
Bo Jackson- 1989
Roberto Alomar- 1998
J.D. Drew- 2008


thanks for playing................
