Second Chance Saloon. Here are unanswered questions so far:
1.A. What is the Pats/Browns all time regular season head to head record?
6. Besides Willie McGinest, what 2 other Pats 1st round draft choices played for the Browns. Hint: one half of this is sort of a trick question....as this person never played for the Pats.
7. A. How many times have the Red Sox and Indians met in post season play before this year?
8. What other name besides The Indians, the Blues, and the Naps has the Tribe been known by?
Hint: neither Spiders or Forest Cities is correct.
9. What one other name have the Red Sox been known as?
12 B. What year did the Indians have their worst record? Margin of error will apply.
13 A&B. I am going to forego asking this....too obscure: Note that the answers to this original question is that Red Sox had their best record ever in 1912 at .691 (105-47-2), and their worst record in 1932 .279 43-111
15. B. Which of the Red Sox 5 all time leading hitters also played a long time with the Indians? Hint....just like B with Cy Young, think old school
Bonus: Besides Terry Francona and John McNamara, what 3 other persons also managed both Red Sox and Indians? Hint: two are probably obscure and difficult....one other is definitely not obscure.
B. What is the record in those series?
