OT: Sports trivia. Part three.

[bobcrane14]

Which of the 32 NFL franchises was the very last to start a black Quarterback? It happened in 2017

 

[skysdad]

Buffalo Bills. OFC

 

[bobcrane14]

Not the Bills. James Harris started for the Bills in 1969 before he played for the Rams and Chargers

 

[skysdad]

K.C. Chiefs. OFC

 

[bobcrane14]

Great guess. Not the Chiefs. I looked it up. Warren Moon was the starter late in the 2000 season

 

[skysdad]

Houston Texans. OFC

 

[bobcrane14]

No. I looked it up. Tony Banks is listed in November,2003. The correct answer is a Northern City in the NFC.

 

[geddoughton23]

New York Giants. Geno Smith started when Eli Manning was benched a couple of years ago

 

[bobcrane14]

Yes. All of the above is correct. Well done, ged

 

[geddoughton23]

Among players who played in high school west of the Mississippi, who is ranked highest on Duke's All-Time Scoring List?

 

[Liftee]

Langdon?

 

[geddoughton23]

Not Langdon

 

[skysdad]

Tate Armstrong. OFC

 

[geddoughton23]

Good guess. Armstrong is from Houston, but not atop the list

 

[skysdad]

Mark Alerie. OFC

 

[geddoughton23]

Alarie, from Scottsdale Arizona, is runner-up on this list. He is 7th overall among all Duke players

 

[GillJET]

Singler?

 

[geddoughton23]

Yes. Singler is the answer. He is #4 overall. He's from Oregon. You're up

 

[GillJET]

Who is the active MLB career leader in triples?

 

[GillJET]

This player began his career with the Colorado Rockies.

 

[bobcrane14]

Brett Gardner?

 

[GillJET]

Brett Gardner?

Great guess, he’s 2nd.

 

[dtodd4475]

Dee Gordan

 

[GillJET]

Dee Gordan

Not Gordon, he’s tied for 3rd.
This player played for the Cubs on their 2016 championship team.

 

[dtodd4475]

Billy Hamilton, they may picked him up as a pinch runner late that year ?

 

[dtodd4475]

Ah, Rockies to Cubs, it's the centerfielder whose with the Cardinals now. I can't think of his name for some reason though...lol.

 

[GillJET]

That’s good enough for me dtodd. Dexter Fowler is the name you’re looking for. You’re up.

 

[dtodd4475]

That’s good enough for me dtodd. Dexter Fowler is the name you’re looking for. You’re up.

Was drawing a complete blank on the name . Thanks

 

[dtodd4475]

With opening day just passing, what pitcher holds the record for most consecutive opening day starts ?

 

[skysdad]

Cy Young OFC

 

[bobcrane14]

Tom Seaver?

 

[dtodd4475]

Tom Seaver has the most total, but is only tied for 2nd for the most consecutive.

The leader is from the modern era. Not sure how many Cy Young had, I will look it up. (Surprisingly, Cy did not crack the top 10)

 

[skysdad]

Walter Johnson. OFC

 

[bobcrane14]

Roy Halladay?

 

[dtodd4475]

The Big Train & Doc Halladay are 2 of 4 pitchers tied for 4th place with 10 consecutive.

 

[skysdad]

Greg Maddux. OFC

 

[bobcrane14]

Great call on Walter Johnson! I suspect that Maddux had to share opening day with Glavine and Smoltz. I will guess STEVE CARLTON

 

[dtodd4475]

Maddux not top 10

 

[dtodd4475]

The leader did it for 14 straight years for 3 different teams.

 

[dtodd4475]

Carlton is one of the 4 tied in 4th place with 10 straight.
