Obscure sports trivia

That Cleveland series in Milwaukee was great. The fans got free tickets, filled up the stadium and cheered like the Brewers were playing. I gained a lot of respect for Milwaukee baseball fans.

 

Great game, too, with Willie Mays Hays scoring the winning run from second on Jake Taylor's bunt single in the bottom of the ninth.

 

Not a question, but pretty obscure. The Minnesota Vikings and Wild both won their games 3-0 on Sunday. It's at least the second time an NFL and NHL team from the same city won by the same score on the same day. In 2017, the Dallas Cowboys and Stars both won 6-0 on the same day.

Which pitcher was given the longest contract in MLB history?

 

I think it was a team in Detroit called the Gears?

 

Close. Chicago American Gears.
Man, this Holzman book is awesome regarding the BBA and NBL leading into the NBA. Holzman himself played for the Rochester Royals.

 

In the NBA, who holds the record for most 30+ point games after 30 years old?

Who is second for most 35+ point games after 30 years old?

 

I’ll say Karl Malone and Elgin Baylor

 

I would think LeBron is first or second

 

I'm betting he's the answer to both questions.

 

You got the first right. Kind of right track with the second, but more surprising.
