I scored a 24 too. I did get the second question right, and I love the comment:
Quote:
Correct Answer: Alexander Cartwright
Contrary to popular legend, baseball was not invented by Doubleday. Its true innovator was Cartwright -- an American engineer and founding member of the New York Knickerbockers, the first organized ballclub. Three of his chief rules changes are still in effect today: the concept of foul territory, the distance between bases, and the elimination of retiring baserunners by throwing balls at them.
|
That would rule! Imagine beaning the lead baserunner on his way from third to home! It wouldn't matter where the ball ricochets off to, because as long as that baserunner is laying unconscious and dying 30 feet from home plate, none of the baserunners behind him can advance past him.
I couldn't think of a better fate for a jerk like A-Rod.
Plus, there's the ancillary benefit that your favortie teams' lineup wouldn't be littered with a bunch of bums who ground into double plays, since they'd all be dead, brain damaged, or lynched.

Ditto.
We both must have gotten too many right or something.  |

God, I wish they still had that rule. It was called "soaking". Baseball would be way more popular than football still if that rule were in effect.

Here's a hint: When in doubt, choose the Yankees-related answer.

the only 2 I knew were the consecutive no-nos and the yankees WS #. can't imagine how a non-yankee fan knew that one.....
Here, a typical yankee douchebag (center) acts like he is the one who won all those
championshps, while typical yankee dip[censored] (right) displays the typical yankee demeanor. | |
