    No, and it's after Murray.

    Hmmm … my next guess is Chipper Jones. And I assume you mean the player hit HRs from both sides of the plate in the same game three times in a season.

    No, not Chipper. And yes, in the same game. Should have been clearer.

    The first person to hit homers from both sides of the plate in the same game three times in one season was ... Ken Caminiti, in September of 1995.

    Name the Broadway dancer and silent-film star who designed the Chicago Blackhawks' iconic crest.

    Time to clear this off the slate.
    The answer is Irene Castle.

    The Yankees have won World Series against every NL team's city, but these four.

    Good question! Off the top of my head, I will guess Miami, Phoenix, Denver and Washington.

    Wasn’t sure about Washington … there were two iterations of the Senators, and I wasn’t 100% sure they were both in the AL.

    The Yankees also never beat Houston in a World Series, but I guess that’s no longer an NL city.

    Both Washington Senators were in the American League. One became the Twins, the other became the Rangers.

    What was the old saying about Washington? First in war, first in peace and last in the American League.
