Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The 'New York Mets' won their first World Series in what year?

Answer: 1969

The never lucky, but always loved, Amazin' Mets won their first World Series after being one of the worst teams in baseball. After losing game 1 to the Baltimore Orioles, the Mets won 4 straight to take the title.

2. In what year did The Doors release the hit, 'Light My Fire'?

Answer: 1967

'Light My Fire' was written by Robbie Kreiger. The best version I heard was on 'Alive She Cried'. The Doors did not take personal credit for their songs. Each member was given credit.

3. In what year did the Tet offensive occur during the Vietnam conflict?

Answer: 1968

1968 was the year when the fighting spread into the streets of Saigon. A personal salute to any of you who are Vietnam Vets. Thanks and Welcome Home.

4. What year did the 'Brooklyn Dodgers' become the 'Los Angeles Dodgers'?

Answer: 1958

Dodger fans from Brooklyn and the world over were not very happy. My Dad was one of them.

5. In what year was Prohibition repealed in the United States?

Answer: 1933

The 21st Amendment officially ended Prohibition. Prohibiting something that many people want makes it that much more tasty and lucrative to the criminal element. Putting a tax on it is far more lucrative.

6. In what year did the 'Kent State' massacre occur?

4 people were killed by National Guardsman as they opened fire on a crowd of anti-war protesters. The rally was in response to Nixon's sending of troops into Cambodia.

Answer: 1957

And it is still popular today.

8. In what year did Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon?

Answer: 1969

Some people still believe that it was staged and never really occurred.

9. In what year was Elvis Presley born?

Answer: 1935

Last sighting was in New Jersey as an Elvis impersonator in a night club. It was a great show.

10. In what year did the 'Titanic' sink?

Answer: 1912

It was once called 'Unsinkable'.
