Obscure sports trivia

Cardinals, since they go back to the very beginning and beyond?

 

Musial (103, 1948) has one. Bonds (107, 2001) has one. Pujols has none, he topped out at 99 in 2004.

It has not been done since 2001, when four of the 15 100-XBH seasons were accomplished.

 

First guess is the Portsmouth Spartans/Detroit Lions.

 

Chuck Klein of the Phillies in 1930 (107) and 1932 (103); Todd Helton of the Rockies in 2000 (103) and 2001 (105).

Both played in the top hitter's parks of their era, at Baker Bowl and at Coors Field.

The other NLers with 100 XBHs in addition to the ones covered on this thread were Rogers Hornsby (102, 1922) and Luis Gonzalez (100, 2001).

 

I'm going to say the Providence Steamroller. Just because it's the best name.

 

YES!

 

As best as I can tell, only one university has had a player win the NBA's Slam Dunk, men's 3-point shooting and women's 3-point shooting contests (different players, different years, obviously). Name the school.

 

It's Detroit-Mercy or as this old white guy who grew up in the Spencer Haywood era prefers, prefers, the University of Detroit.

Should have said postseason competitions. Winners were Antoine Davis in the men's three-point shooting in 2023; Doug Anderson won the slam dunk contest in 2013 and Brigid Mulroy won the women's three-point title in 2009.

 

Hell, I didn't even know they had a women's 3-point contest.

 

Watch Sabrina Ionescu at this year's competition. Smaller ball or not, she is an out-of-this-world shooter.

 

In the legendary May 1979 four-hour matchup between the Phillies and Cubs in which visiting Philadelphia prevailed in 10 innings 23-22, which player on the winning squad led his team with five RBI?

 

Luzinski?
