Obscure sports trivia

Is the American Brett Hull?

 

No, but that was a good guess. He got to 131.

 

I’ll go with QMJHL sensation Pat Lafontaine for the American.

 

I think I know the second one, and he may not be HOF worthy but I think his peak seasons merit entry into the Hockey Hair Hall of Fame. He had great flow in all zones.

 

You are correct…with his name and where he played juniors…I assumed as a kid he was French-Canadien…was semi surprised when I saw he was an American on the back of a topps card.

we have one more: the non-HOFer. Will give a hint. In his banner year, he scored 150.

 

You are on the right path. He had four or five iconic haircuts.

 

I’m going to take a wild stab and say Alexander Mogilny.

 

Not mogilny, but he is a major reason that Lafontaine made the list.

 

The winning and losing pitcher in this modern-era MLB game combined for 884 career victories. Who were the pitchers, and the teams involved?

There is another modern-era MLB game in which the pitchers combined for 928 wins. But cursory math makes that one too easy.

 

Cy Young on the Boston Braves and Mathewson on the Giants?

 

Cy Young with the 1911 Boston Rustlers is correct. Mathewson is not.

Cy Young and Walter Johnson hooked up on 6/4/1910 in a matchup of pitchers who combined for 928 wins: 511 for Young, 417 for Johnson. That "record" will never be broken.

 

Final answer was Bernie Nicholls. He notched 150 points in one magical season with Wayne Gretzky.
