    I’ll guess Warren Spahn for the HOFer.

    I’ll say Happy Felsch for the Black Sox guy since I think he was from Wisconsin.

    EDIT: I see the answer was already given. It’s been a long day.

    No, no and no.
    Germany's hobby of starting World Wars got it banned from the Olympics in 1920, 1924 and 1948.

    There have been two Super Bowls pitting teams with no pants striping or piping. Which are they?

    Belgium and the Netherlands both participated in 1980, so I will guess them.

    No to both.
    Belgium missed two of the first three, and then has been to every Olympics since 1908 — and medaled in all but the 1932 Games.
    The Netherlands, like a lot of countries, skipped 1904 because St. Louis was too much of a backwater. They also sent only one athlete to Melbourne in 1956. Other than those two, they've medaled in every appearance.

    One of the missing two does come from that part of the world, though.

    Was it 48 and 49, the last two the Seahawks were in?

    Batman -

    I fucked up the question. Only one stripeless pantsed team has won the Super Bowl - the 2012 Ravens in their black leotards.

    The 2001 Rams lost to the Patriots in their gold leotards.

    I think the Seahawks technically have those markings on the pants.

    Paying off the Olympics question:
    Great Britain, France, Greece, Switzerland and Australia are the five countries that have participated in every Summer Olympics.
    Great Britain, France and Australia have won at least one medal in all of them.

    Damn, Switzerland should have been an easy one. It's neutral about everything!

    I think every western European country except them was given as an answer.

    Since 1960, one current NFL team has played a home game (NOT counting Europe, Germany, Toronto or Mexico City) in seven different venues. Two other teams have played home games at six different venues. Name the teams.
