    Yes, originally known as the Huntingdon Street Grounds, opened 1887.

    Some bleacher sections were still made of wood and collapsed in 1903, killing 12, and again in 1927, with no fatalities.

    Shibe Park was # 2 and Commiskey was #3.

    Not sure how obscure it is, but UCLA has won more Rose Bowl games than all but six schools. Can you name them?

    Michigan, tOSU, Stanford, USC, Wisconsin, Michigan State?

    I'd put Washington ahead of Stanford.

    I'm fairly confident in Stanford and USC. I think the Trojans have the most. Dad is a Cardinal and I’m pretty sure they have close to 10 wins.

    I'm pretty sure Stanford has the most Rose Bowl losses.

    I looked that up and there are two teams with double digit losses. Stanford has less than 10. I won’t spoil who has more until the original answer is given.

    Alabama is the tricky answer, tied with UCLA's five. Washington, OhSt, Mich, USC and Stanford. Can't believe its been 38 years since UCLA's last win.

    Bally Sports Detroit showed a graphic today during Tigers-Twins ... Name the MLB slugger who hit home runs in the most different stadiums (46)?
    This maybe an easy one and I probably didn't write the ? well but found it fascinating.

    Being a Tigers broadcast I’ll guess Miguel Cabrera

    I remember them talking about this when Pujols was on the Angels. But I don't think it's him.

    Sorry ... I should have specified it was not a former Tiger. It did get me thinking about how many teams have been in their current venues for a long, long time.
