Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What team was Mark McGwire playing for in 2001, his final year in Major League Baseball?

Answer: St. Louis

McGwire played for Oakland from 1986 to 1997 and St. Louis from 1997 to 2001. McGwire was a World Series champion with Oakland in 1989, a 12-time All-Star, and hit a then-record 70 homeruns in 1998, later attributed to performance-enhancing drugs.

2. What city is known for the "Subway Series" in baseball?

Answer: New York

The "Subway Series" is used to refer to any series (regular season or playoffs) in which the Yankees and Mets play each other. Among them was the 2000 World Series, where the Yankees won in five games

3. During the NFC Championship for the 2000-01 season, the Giants blanked the Minnesota Vikings 41-0.

Answer: True

In one of the most lopsided playoff games, Kerry Collins threw for 381 yards and five touchdowns. Minnesota had 114 total offensive yards, with Culpepper going 13-28 for 78 yards, sacked four times, and threw three interceptions.

4. In Darrell Waltrip's final season of NASCAR Cup Series racing in 2000, what was the number he used?

Answer: 66

Waltrip drove for Travis Carter Motorsports with KMart sponsorship. During his Victory Tour, Waltrip started on the front row at Indianapolis, but also failed to qualify six times. At the Coca-Cola 600, Waltrip bought a ride so he could race.

5. Who won the NASCAR Cup Series championship in 2000?

Answer: Bobby Labonte

Bobby and Terry Labonte were the first set of brothers to win the Cup Series title, with Terry winning in 1984 and 1996. Amazingly, Bobby finished every race, with a low of 26th at Richmond. Tragically, the runner-up was Dale Earnhardt in what would be his final full season.

The Wizards won 1-0 with a Miklos Molnar goal. The 2000 season was the fifth for MLS.

8. What was the position of the first overall pick of the 2000 NHL draft?

Answer: Goalie

The first pick of the 2000 NHL draft was Rick DiPietro by the New York Islanders. DiPietro would be later known for his 15-year contract in 2006 and frequent injuries that limited him to a combined 50 games from 2008 to 2013, earning him the nickname "Rickety."

9. For the 2001 NBA Finals, both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers were at the top of their divisions.

Answer: False

The Lakers were the second seed in the West, just behind the San Antonio Spurs, but it didn't matter as the Lakers won the series 4-1. Shaquille O'Neal was the Finals MVP.

10. Goran Ivanisevic pulled off one of the biggest upsets at Wimbledon in 2001. He got into the tournament as a qualifier.

Answer: False

Ivanisevic was ranked 125th at the time and earned entry as a wildcard. He had lost at Wimbledon three times, in 1992 to Andre Agassi and 1994 and 1998 to Pete Sampras. Ivanisevic finally won, beating Pat Rafter in five sets.
