I was their Webmaster. I got to meet Bob Evans too, yes, that Bob Evans (before he died). His farm shared a boundary with the college, as you surely know.

I think he had another game with 116 or something like that. It was not counted because it was against a JuCo.

No kidding! I met Bevo at my last job at Rio Grande. He scored 113.

Gary Sheffield

@blowe said:

Got which? There were a dozen questions, only 3 of which have been correctly answered in full. (no clue on the others?)

suns said:

#6

Not Giambi

@clevelandfanforlife said:

Not Thomas (I believe he may be considered retired...or he may not be in the Top 25)

@blowe said:

Thome, Manny, Griffey, A rod.....

I feel like I'm missing one or two more

Only 1 more.

And I want to say thanks to the Board Admin. for correcting my mistake in double posting this thread.

Sosa in not considered active (nor is Bonds). I'll give a hint here. You have 3 of the 5. there are 2 more.

@roach said:

8. i think Gale Sayers won it at least once.

Sandy has the second longest streak, and yes, Sayers is one of the answers to #8

@siperbowl said:

Not right. Sandy had the second longest hit streak for the Tribe at 30 games. Another player had a longer one (31)

@the-gipper said:

The bold team had 222 and yes i did cheat .

@the-gipper said:

Bonds is not active and does not count, otherwise your answer to #6 would be incomplete.

Actually, perhaps I can give you #3 as perhaps I misread it. You put Ga Tech in bold....did that mean you meant that it was the Rambling Wreck who had the 222 points? If so, that is the correct answer....if you assure me that you didnt cheat and look it up.

On #3 right game, but you didn't give the points.

On #5 right score, wrong team (err, right team on losing end)

On #6, Thome is only one of several.
