10/29/09 Celtic Trivia

Many players have little routines they go thru before shooting a foul shot. We all remember Dennis Johnson. What did he do prior to shooting his foul shots?



Thanks to Pete for this question.

Before shooting, DJ bounced the ball once for every year he played in the NBA.

Correct.

I do have a non Celtic trivia question that I will throw at you.
Baseball question.

Can you name the last switch hitter in the American League to win the MVP award?

beat,

Trick question.

The first AND last true positional switch hitter in the AL to win the MVP was Yankee great Mickey Mantle.

However, some years later, Vida Blue won the MVP and was listed as a switch hitter even though he was really a pitcher and hardly batted at all.

BOB

You are good!!!

Vida Blue is the answer.

beat,

You need harder questions for Bob, how about blood types for certain players, I think this is the only direction to go. Or, mother's maiden names, first car, etc.

I'll take a chill pill and let others take a few whacks at the pinata first.

Convictions is too easy especially if the perp, er "subject", is Ron Artest.

Okay Bob,
Here is one of my favorite old time trivia questions...What was Babe Ruth's number when he came into the bigs....? You'll probably hit this one out of the park too...... LA CELT FAN

LACeltFan,

He didn't have one did he? Until they numbered the Yankees by their positions in the batting order.

Sam

LACELTFAN, players uniforms did not have numbers when the Babe broke in to the big leagues. I know that you know we all knew that . On the subject of trivia I am going off topic and sharing with you guys one of my favorite all-time sports trivia questions, I hope we've got some boxing fans here. Who is the only Heavyweight champion to LOSE every title fight he was ever in.

In 1929, the Yankees became the first team to use uniform numbers regularly. Since Ruth batted third in the order, he was assigned number 3. The Yankees retired Ruth's number on June 13, 1948.

beat

there was no prior number

All correct, as I said it's an old trivia question and has made the rounds....I still like it though because when I first heard it I didn't know why Ruth was #3 and Gehrig was #4.....Good job, guys....
