    You need to specify which question you are replying to. There were a dozen of them...but if you are again talking about #2, that too would be wrong

    I will give you this: that is one of the Qs Fanforlife got correct.

    The only answers that are completely 100% correct have been to questions #2 and #7.

    There have been some very close but no cigars to a couple of others.

  • #3 1950 yanks swept them 4-0

  • These are pretty much straightforward sports questions on this set. A couple of quirks, maybe, but not really.

    1. What city that currently has a team in one of the major sports (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL) has gone the longest since its last championship?

    2. What is the last year a city/region won two titles in the same year. (and for this purpose, a Super Bowl win counts for the year in which the season is played, thus 2009 for Pittsburgh would not count, as it was the 2008 season in which the Steelers won the title)

    3. The Yankees and Phillies have a chance to meet in the World Series. They have met one time before in a WS. Name the year and the result.

    4. If the Angels and Dodgers make the World Series, it would be the first all LA area WS. Except for the New York area, where it has happened many times, name the other cities/metro areas that have hosted an "All City/metro area" World Series. Try to give the citie, year, and teams.

    5. How many times has a team from New York won the World Series? Give the teams and number of titles for each if possible.

    6. Name the 6 teams that have "waited longer" than the Browns to win an NFL title. (i.e. they had to have been in existance before 1964)

    7. John Wooden turns 99 today. How many NCAA titles did he win with UCLA?

    8. How many years did Wooden coach UCLA before winning his first NCAA title?

    9. Which current NFL head coach coaches in the same city in which he was born.

    10. What do current Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels, current Atlanta Falcons GM Tom Dimitroff, former Chiefs HC John Mackovic and former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler all have specifically in common?

    11. Give all the names that the Angels have officially gone by at one time or another.

    12. This question is for the birds:

    A. Which current MLB playoff team was once known as the Blue Jays?

    B. Which current MLB playoff team was once known as the Orioles?

    C. Which current MLB playoff team was once known as the Robins?

    @razor1414 said:

    OK, correct. (but I hope you didn't "google" the answer...that would be cheating)

  • To LNC:

    Question 1 is not right. Chicago had a title as recently as 2005 when the White Sox won (the question was about the city, not a specific team)

    Q #4. The one's you name are correct, but the answer is not totally complete

    Qs 5, 6, 11, 12 are all correct.

    Memphis, no. They just became a "major league city' a few years ago when the Grizzlies moved there.

    Your other partial answers are right

    Here's a couple for you, Gipper.

    Where did baseball's Broncos play? (Hint, it wasn't Denver!)

    Where did baseballs Innocents play?

    Where did baseballs Orphans play?

    I like some of the old team names, they can really be fascinating......

    😁

    I believe the "Broncos" played in Cleveland....but I also think it was technically spelled "Bronchos".

    I want to say that the Innocents were one of the Chicago teams.

    And I believe the Orphan played in a town that no longer has a major league team, like Troy or something. Maybe not.
