OT: Sports trivia. Part three.

[hart2chesson]

Gene Sarazen I believe. It helps that he was my answer to the Shell's Wonderful World of Golf question recently

Good job Sky, Sarazen it is. Funny Snead missed like an 18 inch or so putt I think to miss winning the U.S. Open or send it to playoff, etc. Only major he never won. Arnie, btw never won the PGA- think he was a runner-up to Julius Boros late 60s.You are up! Give us a good one!

Don Mattingly won the NL Manager of the Year in 2020. Mattingly was AL MVP as a Player. Who was the last manager of the year before Mattingly to also be an MVP as a player?

Great guess. Not Torre. Sorry to take so long. When I hit updates, I'm sent to a page about cookies. . Not Torre. More recent

 

[hart2chesson]

Dave Johnson? OFC

 

[geddoughton23]

Only five people have ever won manager of the year and MVP in the same career . Torre did it. And Mattingly, and Frank Robinson and Don Baylor. The person we're looking for won a World Series with the same franchise that won the World Series last month

 

[geddoughton23]

Guan Tianlang of China became the youngest player ever in 2013 to make the cut at Masters. How old was he? OFC

 

[geddoughton23]

17 ??! I don't know. There aren't too many possibilities.

 

[hart2chesson]

[geddoughton23]

I'll take a stab with 16

 

[hart2chesson]

Not 16. In fact he was only 14. Time is up so I will put another question out there.

Which current NBA head coach was a reserve on that 2001 Arizona runner up team?

 

[geddoughton23]

Luke Walton? He was on the team. I thought that he started, but probably not. I think that he is a good coach, but I thought that he was the weak link on that team

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

Luke Walton? He was on the team. I thought that he started, but probably not. I think that he is a good coach, but I thought that he was the weak link on that team

Luke is correct...may have become an eventual starter, but that game 16 min 2 for 6 ....4 pts 3 rebs 4 asts.... U UP!!!
