Jeopardy + Baseball trivia
The other day during the Double Jeopardy round, one of the categories was 1950s Baseball. After using all questions in all of the other categories there were only the (5) Baseball questions left. I guess the contestants didn't know much about baseball.
$400 question - Which Braves outfielder hit his first HR in 1954 and then went on to hit 754 more? That got a correct response. The person that answered that question asked for the $2000 question (incredibly easy) - Who hit the HR that took the 1951 Giants to the World Series? That question went unanswered... the contestant then selected the $1600 question (another gimme question) - What Cubs SS hit 47 HRs in 1958. The 47 HRs still stands as a record for HRs hit by a SS in a season? The guy that answered Aaron for the $400 question buzzed in and aswered "Sandberg".... Ryne wasn't born until 1959... Unfortunately there wasn't enough time so the $800 and $1200 questions weren't revealed....
