What Position Did I Play? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Center

Drafted out of Notre Dame by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the third round of the NBA Draft in 1979, Bill Laimbeer played in four NBA All-Star Games and won league titles with the "Bad Boy" Pistons in 1989 and 1990. He became head coach of the Shock midway through the 2002 WNBA season, and was named 2003 WNBA Coach of the Year for helping turn the franchise into a big winner.

Answer: Wide receiver

A 20th-round pick of the Baltimore Colts in 1954, Raymond Berry wasn't expected to make much of an impact in the NFL. In fact, he had to wear special shoes because one leg was shorter than the other. But through hard work and determination, he became one of the most prolific receivers in pro football history. During his career, he caught 631 passes for 9,275 yards and 68 touchdowns.

In the historic 1958 NFL Championship game, he rewrote the record books by making 12 catches for 178 yards, including two catches in the overtime session. Taking over for Ron Meyer as the Patriots' head coach midway through the 1984 season, Berry compiled a 48-39 record over five and a half seasons, including an incredible run through the 1985 playoffs en route to Super Bowl XX.

Answer: Third base

Originally joining the bigs with the Milwaukee Braves as a catcher, Torre also played first base and third base. In 1971, as a member of the St Louis Cardinals, Torre was the everyday third baseman, and led the league in batting average, runs batted in, total bases and total hits.

He got his first taste of managerial experience with the New York Mets, and later led the Atlanta Braves to the 1982 National League Championship Series. Ironically, the Cardinals beat his Braves to go on to the World Series that year.

Answer: Left wing

Nicknamed "The Old Lamplighter", Toe Blake won three Stanley Cup titles as a player with the Montreal Canadiens (1944 and 1946) and their old crosstown rivals, the Maroons (1935). In 1939, he claimed both the Hart Memorial Trophy (as the league MVP) and the Art Ross Trophy (as the league's leading scorer), and earned the Lady Byng Trophy (sportsmanship) in 1946.

After retiring from hockey in 1948, Blake came to the United States to coach teams in Houston and Buffalo. He returned to Montreal in 1955 to succeed another legendary coach, Dick Irvin, primarily to help keep his old linemate, Maurice "The Rocket" Richard, and his temper in check. Blake won eight Stanley Cups in nine appearances as a coach, and compiled an 82-37 postseason record.

He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame, as a player, in 1966.

Answer: Quarterback

After leading the Texas Longhorns to victory in the 1948 Sugar Bowl and the 1949 Orange Bowl, as a fullback and defensive back, Tom Landry played one season with the New York Yankees of the All-American Football Conference, where he punted, returned kicks and played defense.

He played six seasons with the New York Giants, spending his last two seasons (1954-55) as both player and assistant coach. He recorded 32 interceptions and a 40.9 yard punting average in his seven seasons of play. From 1956 to 1959, Landry was the Giants' defensive coordinator, on a coaching staff that included another future Hall of Famer, Vince Lombardi, as the offensive coordinator. Landry became head coach of the Dallas Cowboys in 1960, winning 270 total games and two Super Bowls.

Answer: Second base

A middle infielder with good fielding skills, Anderson's light hitting eventually doomed his major league career. In his one season with the Phillies, he hit .218 and drove in 34 runs. He would more than make up for that though, as manager of the Cincinnati Reds and the Detroit Tigers.

As skipper of the Reds from 1970 to 1978, the Reds won four National League pennants (1970, 1972, 1975 and 1976) and back-to-back World Series titles (1975 and 1976), and compiled a .596 winning percentage in 1450 games. With the Tigers, he became the first manager in major league history to lead one team from each league to World Series glory, winning the title over the San Diego Padres in 1984. Ironically, Anderson's win made fellow manager Dick Williams a footnote in history. Had the Padres won, Williams, who had won back-to-back World Series as manager of the Oakland A's in 1972 and 1973, would've been the first manager to pull off the feat.

Answer: Small forward

Although he was originally drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers with the second pick in the 1989 NBA Draft, Ferry opted instead to play ball in Italy, and spent two seasons there before joining the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ferry spent 10 seasons in a Cavs uniform before heading to San Antonio, where he spent three seasons before becoming their director of basketball operations. Named the general manager of Cleveland shortly before the 2005 NBA Draft, Ferry follows in the footsteps of his father, Bob, who served as GM of the Washington Bullets after his playing days were over.

Answer: Goaltender

Rutherford spent most of his 13-year NHL career in a Detroit Red Wings uniform. He also made stops in Pittsburgh, Toronto, and Los Angeles, playing in a total of 457 games and recording 14 shutouts. As the general manager of the Hurricanes, he helped oversee their transition from New England (as the Hartford Whalers) to North Carolina and an amazing run to the 2002 Stanley Cup Finals.

Answer: Cornerback

In a career that lasted five seasons, Jeff Fisher recorded five interceptions in the Bears defensive backfield and he racked up over 1,100 punt return yards, including an 88-yard return in his rookie year of 1981. An ankle injury during the 1985 season allowed him to become an unofficial assistant to Bears defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan, whose 46-defense helped the Bears win Super Bowl XX.

He spent time as an assistant with the Eagles, the Rams, and the 49ers before becoming the defensive coordinator in Houston in 1994.

He took over for Jack Pardee during the last six games of that season, and stayed with the Oilers after they left Houston.

Answer: Right field

Frank Robinson put together a Hall of Fame resume during a 20-year career. Of his 2,943 hits, 586 were home runs. He was the first person to win the MVP award in each league (with Cincinnati in 1961 and with Baltimore in 1966), and he won two World Series with the Orioles (1966 and 1970).

In 1975, he became the first African-American manager in Major League Baseball, helming the Cleveland Indians until 1977. He was the last manager of the Montreal Expos and followed them when they became the Washington Nationals in 2005.
