Obscure sports trivia

Yeah, just looked it up. McGee was part of the nomination, but the album didn’t win.

It just stuck in my head from the time McGee spent in DC, and I thought, “THAT fucking guy?”

 

Are we going to get this one paid off?

 

Isn't Carmelo Anthony's wife a singe? Maybe he got a producer credit?

 

I looked it up — Magic won for Best Spoken Word Album for an AIDS prevention recording

 

What was the last MLB team to wear a cap without a logo on it?

 

My first thought would be Pirates because all I can picture is their stripped hats. But that would be too easy given the Pittsburgh knowledge of some. So maybe a defunct team? The Browns?

 

Good guess.

The St. Louis Browns from 1940-1945 were the last MLB team to wear a cap without a logo of any kind. Their white caps consisted solely of brown and orange piping and a brown bill. In earlier years they had donned caps with an interlocking "SL" or a fleur de lis. From 1946 until they moved to Baltimore in 1954 the team wore a cap with an interlocking "StL" very similar to that of the Cardinals but in various combinations of brown, orange and white.

It's hard to picture a world where the St. Louis Browns, Boston Braves and Philadelphia A's even existed, they've been gone so long. Hell, I barely remember the Kansas City A's or the Milwaukee Braves.

 

What pitcher holds the Padres franchise record for victories?

 

I’ll guess Andy Benes.

 

No, not Benes.

 

Jake Peavy seems too obvious, but I’ll guess him anyway.

 

No, not Peavy. Or Randy Jones.
