Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where did the Baseball Hall of Fame begin?

Answer: Cooperstown, New York

The Baseball Hall of Fame is in Cooperstown, New York, which began in 1936 with five greats being inaugurated. The Football Hall of Fame is in Canton, Ohio.

2. Who won the Stanley Cup in the 2003-04 season?

Answer: Tampa Bay Lightning

The Avalanche and Flames were beaten by the San Jose Sharks. Anaheim was in the 2002-03 Finals, but did not make the playoffs for the 2003-04 year. The Lightning were led by Martin St. Louis and Nikolai Khabibulin.

3. Who was nicknamed "Bambino"?

Answer: Babe Ruth

Mays was the 'Say Hey Kid', Aaron was 'Hammerin' Hank', and Gehrig was the 'Iron Horse'. Babe had the most career home runs until Hank Aaron came along, and the single season home run record until Roger Maris broke it in 1961.

4. Who won the National Championship in NCAA Football in the 2002-03 year in double OT?

Answer: Ohio State

Nebraska lost to Miami in the 2001-02 Championship and Miami tried to repeat, but Ohio State won with Craig Krenzel, their leading rusher for the game. The score was 31-24. It was the most points given up by Ohio State in a game and the lowest amount of points Miami scored in a game all year.

5. Who was the first male Canadian golfer to win a major?

Answer: Mike Weir

The others are not Canadian. Weir won the Masters in 2003. He had been on the PGA Tour for many years and is still a competitive force for Singh, Woods, and Els.

6. Which journeyman pitcher gave up the home run to Dave Henderson in 1986, which led the Red Sox to their World Series appearance against the Mets?

Answer: Donnie Moore

The home run tied the game. Henderson won the game with a sacrifice fly in the 11th. The historic World Series afterward tainted the Red Sox comeback, with Bill Buckner letting Mookie Wilson's hit go through his legs in a series-clinching game. The Red Sox lost in seven games to the New York Mets.

7. Which college was the alma mater of former running back Walter Payton and wide receiver Jimmy Smith?

Answer: Jackson State

Jimmy Smith was drafted by the Cowboys but given eventually to the Jaguars, with whom he had a lot of success. Payton fit well with the Bears of the 1980s and won a Super Bowl. He was the NFL leading career rusher until Emmitt Smith broke his record.

8. Who won the first baseball Rookie of the Year Award?

Answer: Jackie Robinson

It was given to him in 1947 for a productive year with the Brooklyn Dodgers. He hit .297 and had 175 hits in the season, along with 12 home runs, and put a fiery spirit into the Dodgers. He out-voted Larry Jansen of the New York Giants for the award.

9. Where was Roger Clemens born?

Answer: Dayton, Ohio

22 years later, the 'Rocket' debuted in a Red Sox uniform in 1984. He won won his seventh Cy Young Award in 2004, as a Houston Astro.

10. Which of these did Don Budge, the star U.S. tennis player, not win in 1938?

Answer: Olympics

If Don won the grand slam, he must have won the Australian. 1938 was not an Olympic year, so he could not have won the Olympics that year.
