I missed one, the Oorang Indians (yes that was a legitimate NFL team for two years, 1922 and 1923) shared a name with the Cleveland Indians for those two seasons.

There have been 15 walk off home runs hit in World Series history, 13 of them were hit when the score was tied. Can you name the only two that were hit when the team was trailing? Name the year, the batter, and the opposing pitcher.

Only 1 comes right to mind. 1993, Joe Carter vs. Wild Thing Williams.

Gibby game 1 in 88... Eck.

 

[soxfan1468927]

Got them both. Well done

I misunderstood the question I see. The question was GAME ending homers, and, I was thinking only of W.S ending homers.


DOH!!!

Gibby game 1 in 88... Eck.

Funny that one of the two is off the guy who's credited with helping create the term walk off. (I think Eck used the term walkpiece)

Got any questions for the thread?

 

[broncosmitty]

Who is the other man credited with coining the term "walk off"?

 

[BigDDude]

Who is the other man credited with coining the term "walk off"?

Besides Eck, I have no idea. Maybe Hawk Harrelson?

Im finding conflicting info on the Ol' interwebs now. My answer was Dan Patrick, but it seems several journalists are creditted with drawing the meaning out of Eckersly. I should have asked the question before bringing up Ecks involvement it seems. Dang it, Im terrible at this.

 

[Wazmankg]

I couldn't find it. I had no idea the term was that new.

No worries my good man. I suffer from the same affliction, and am a bad "asker" as well. Which is why I stick to answering.

Here is to hoping that we both can come up with a good asker, as, I myself still have 2 hours of work time yet to kill....

I think it is ok to ask a question without knowing the answer....

Name all the teams that do not end with an S. ie: Utah Jazz

I just realized, another city you could add to the list of cities that have REACHED a final in all four sports is Minneapolis as they won multiple titles as the Minneapolis Lakers, reached a cup final as the North Stars in 1981, and the Vikings have been to 4 Super Bowls

I am sure you meant the North Stars made the finals in 1991. What a great SCFs that was!!

I actually did mean 1981 as they made it that year as well (lost to the Islanders). I simply missed 1991
