- Most MLB pitchers are yanked from a game when they reach around the 100-pitch mark – the most pitches thrown in a single game by a single pitcher is more or less than 250 pitches? (Nolan Ryan 1974 – Anaheim Angels vs Boston Red Sox – Ryan pitched 13 of the 15-inning game, throwing 235 pitches, recording 19 strikeouts and walking 10 batters, facing 58 batters – Angels won 4 to 3)
- The average MLB game features 3 pitchers per team, with each team throwing more or less than 140 pitches? (Today MLB game averages 146 pitches per game – up 11 pitches over 20 years ago)
- Atlanta Braves Hall of Famer, Greg Maddoz holds the MLB record for fewest complete game pitches with: 68 or 78?
- Back in 1983, White Sox third baseman Robin Ventura earned a record 5 or 6 hits while facing Texas Ranger and future Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan? After being hit by a pitch Robin Ventura made a bad decision to charge a waiting and ready Nolan Ryan – who promptly steerdogged Ventura when the two met at the mound – Ryan delivered 6 right hands to the face and head of Ventura – unfortunately, for Ventura – he is remembered for this comical act of aggression against a baseball legend and a man 20 years older than him at the time – more than his 16 year very nice career in the big leagues)
- For his country club boss/waiter role in the Adam Sandler movie, Happy Gilmore 2 – how much was Kansas City Chiefs Tight End and Taylor Swift’s main squeeze Travis Kelce paid: $5, $50, or $500? (John Daly got $1,000 – Post Malone made his appearance for $1)
- Before this golfer made it big – he once played a big money game having no money at all but needed money to pay off a jeweler for a $400 wedding ring – was it: Arnold Palmer or Johnny Miller? (This famous bet involved Palmer’s first visit to a very tough Pine Valley Golf Course in New Jersey – Arnold bet members $100 for each stroke he could shoot under par and they countered his bet with $100 for every stroke he shot over 80. Palmer bogeyed the first hole but went on to shoot 4 under par, pocketing the money he needed to purchase the ring for his wife to be Winifred “Winney” Walzer/Palmer)
- You would need two hands or two hands and a foot to count the number of times a kickoff has been returned for a touchdown in Super Bowl history? (10 times)

- Larry Bird’s favorite player to play with on the Boston Celtics was: Kevin McHale or Bill Walton? (Bird said Walton saw the court like him, calling him a basketball genius/a savant)
