Ultimate Baseball Quiz!!

Pay close attention. You have to almost be a detective to solve this riddle.

Three old, blue-haired ladies attend a Yankees game one sunny May afternoon, a Thursday. They have each purchased a ticket and a bag of popcorn and two hot dogs. They also have smuggled in a bottle of Jack Daniels and are enjoying mixing one drink after another with the 7-Ups they've purchased from the short red-headed soda guy moving through the stands, with his left arm missing.

At a certain point during the game, one of them exclaims to the other two, "AAAA Maude, The friggin bottle's empty! So, the question to you based only on the information you have been told is this: WHAT INNING IS IT AND HOW MANY RUNNERS ARE ON BASE? Drumroll......This may be the corniest joke of all time.....drumroll continues.

The answer:


It's the bottom of the fifth and the bags are loaded!! x:D

I think I'm offended that you would assume such antics would occur at a Yankees game. Why not Atlanta instead? Actually, blue haired old ladies would be more likely to attend a Yankees game than a Mets game.

Don D

The questions, Ray, the questions. Did you get the answers correctly? Forget about the peripheral assessment. Your tactics are diversionary.

No

Bad, Bad, Bad... But being a Red Sox fan, I would expect that type of behavior in Yankee Stadium.

Now for a real Baseball Quiz Question.

Name the only Baseball Player who played for the:
Boston Braves,
Milwaukee Braves,
Atlanta Braves.

Cheers,

Bill, what Don forgot to mention is the 2 blue haired ladies were from Boston to watch their boys get beat.

That would be Eddie Matthews. Also, Hank Aaron was drafted by the Boston Braves in '52 but did not play for them but did for Mil. and Atlanta.

Don D

Yes. The blue haired ladies were part of the Kennedy family and had tickets along the third base line. They passed out before their Red Sox got beat. I would expect a Red Sox fan to hijack my thread instead of starting his own. x:-)

Bill ONeill

Congrats to AnneHa & Popeye. Eddie Matthews is the correct answer.

Eddie mathews is also the answer to the trivia question, "Who was the sports figure on the cover of the 1st issue of Sports Illustrated?"

Here's a baseball story for all you baseball buffs - from this morning. I will preface by telling you that Duke Snyder lives somewhere in my community. A few weeks ago I was waiting for a pizza in an Italian restaurant about a half mile away when a tall, white haired man walked in and everyone called him Duke. I wondered whether or not it was Duke Snyder. I guess it was.

Now to this morning. I decided to get a hair cut while I was waiting for my car to get an oil change. I walked into Ralph's Barber Shop. Ralph, well into his 70's, was there and starts talking sports and what happens when people get older. Then he said that Dr.so and so, Duke Snyders doctor, was in the shop the other day and said that Duke had hardening of the arteries, type 11 diabetes among other ailments that I don't remember. I guess the good doctor hasn't heard of HIPPA. Maybe the news hasn't reached Fallbrook, Ca.

Don D

The real outcome of your story should be that if you ever see Duke again, you should shake his hand, hug him if he'll let you, and tell him you've appreciated him all your life, even if you must lie. Legends deserve to be appreciated openly.

And, yes, those of who see Gillian3 in a grocery store somewhere, should do the same.
