    Obscure, but probably easy for this crowd.

    Who has the highest batting average (minimum of 100 plate appearances) with the bases loaded in MLB history?

    I know that because when he was working Blue Jays games and the team had the bases loaded it was always mentioned.

    Adjoining keys on a standard American typewriter spell out the name of a former MLB player who played more than 1,100 games in the show. Who is he?

    Yes, noticed it yesterday while putting some stickers over worn-out keys on my laptop. Another guy from my youth.

    I remember when he was injured in 1968, my brother and I went around rhythmically chanting "Don Wert is hurt! Don Wert is hurt!" just because it sounded funny.

    The night that Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in Hershey, Pa., there was an exhibition game as the opening act.

    What two teams (also staffed by pros) played in front of a little more than 4000 people.

    Harlem Globetrotters and Washington Generals (or Jersey Reds, or New York Celtics or whatever name they were going by)?

    Or maybe it was a basketball game between Eagles and Steelers players?

    Eagles were one of the teams. Will give a hint that the other team had a hof qb playing that night.
