Obscure sports trivia

Just looked it up. Benjamin Harrison.

I wonder what percentage of American citizens would even recognize Benjamin Harrison as the name of a U.S. president?

 

Yes, Miami (of Ohio) University does boast a U.S. president.

However, Roethlisberger was not a Super Bowl MVP. Hines Ward won the honor for Super Bowl XL, and Santonio Holmes got it for XLIII.

 

So you're saying Big Ben is all hype? His receivers made him look good?

 

Ohio had quite a run of presidents in the late 1800s, early 1900s. Since then, nothing.

Two of the four to be shot (Garfield, McKinley). Harding was the Buckeye prez.

 

Just stating a fact, my friend. I've always respected Ben as a quarterback, just happened to win SBs when his receivers would have monster games.

 

I’m watching the 1971 MLB All-Star game. Two of the NL pitchers hit a home run in a game in which they threw a no hitter. Name them.

 

Rick Wise and Tony Cloninger?

 

Wise is one, but not Cloninger

 

Cloninger once hit two grand slams in one game, but I don't think he ever threw a no-hitter.

 

I’m pretty sure Doc Ellis was the starter for the NL, and I know he had a no hitter...

 

No hi

No hitter but no HR on LSD

 

So who was the second?
