The New and Improved Trivia Thread
Long ago and far away, and especially on Patch Days, we had a trivia thread and I thought I'd revive it here. The rules are simple: the first person to answer correctly has the obligation to post the next trivia question, and NO GOOGLING for answers.
I'll start:
Only four athletes have won both Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player in the same season in their respective professional sports. Name them.
Re: The New and Improved Trivia Thread
Glad to see the thread back, but I have no clue....
Re: The New and Improved Trivia Thread
heh... Id like to phone a friend or three on this one...
Re: The New and Improved Trivia Thread
I'll say A-rod, wayne gretzsky, michael jordan and gail sayers
Re: The New and Improved Trivia Thread
And the answer is . . .
1) Wilt Chamberlain
2) Michael Jordan
3) Fred Lynn
4) Ichiro Suzuki
As there were no right answers, I'll ask another:
What were the only two Latin American countries to send troops to fight the Axis powers in World War II?

Yup! [Y]
One down, one to go . . . .
Re: The New and Improved Trivia Thread
Ok, you said Latin America, so I'm running my mind all up and down the thin stretch of land between the U.S. and Columbia.
If you're including South America, my guesses would've been different. Tjl has Brazil, I'm guessing Argentina.
Re: The New and Improved Trivia Thread
And the answer is Brazil and Mexico. [:O]
Someone else's turn . . . .

Yup. The aircraftuses a 4-channel flight control system (or so I hear), so it has four pitot tubes.
