Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This team is one of the more storied franchises in Major League Baseball. They won six World Series titles in the 20th century. They started play on one coast, but in 1958, they moved to the other coast. Who are they?

Answer: Los Angeles Dodgers

In addition to their many accolades as a franchise, the Dodgers have also had numerous Hall Of Fame players don their uniform. Such players include Duke Snider, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson, and Don Drysdale.
2. Roger Staubach, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Tony Dorsett, and Michael Irvin have all called what National Football League team home?

Answer: Dallas Cowboys

"America's Team" is what the Cowboys are affectionately called in their circle. Although not true, it is easy to see why some would call them that. Five Super Bowl victories in the 20th century certainly puts them near the top of the short list of candidates for that moniker.
3. What team did Hakeem Olajuwon lead to back to back National Basketball Association championships in the 1990s?

Answer: Houston Rockets

In 1994, Houston met up with the New York Knicks and beat them in a thrilling seven game series. Game 5 will be remembered as the game that was interrupted by the infamous OJ Simpson Bronco chase. Truly surreal to watch that as it went down the way it did. Then in 1995, the Rockets swept the Orlando Magic.
4. What "amazing" team won two World Series titles in the 20th century?

Answer: New York Mets

The 1968 Mets finished the season 16 games under .500 and narrowly avoided finishing dead last in the National League. The very next season, in 1969, the Mets won 100 games and beat the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles to win the championship. This was not even the most famous Met title run.

In 1986, they met up with the Boston Red Sox. Down three games to two and losing by two runs in the bottom of the 10th inning of game six, the Mets made an amazing comeback and beat Boston 6-5. They then won game seven and took home their second World Series.
5. Which National Football League team won the first two Super Bowls?

Answer: Green Bay Packers

Super Bowl I was played in 1967 and saw the Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10. The next season they would beat the Oakland Raiders 33-14. It would be another near 30 years before Green Bay would take the trophy back home, but they will forever be linked with the Super Bowl because the Super Bowl trophy bears the name of their legendary coach Vince Lombardi.
6. Curses don't exist, right? To one long suffering Major League Baseball franchise, they do. What team was "cursed" due to a sale of a player?

Answer: Boston Red Sox

The player in question was Babe Ruth. In 1919, the same year as the infamous Black Sox scandal, The Bambino was sold to the New York Yankees. Before the sale, Boston was baseball's royalty. They won the title in 1912, 1915, 1916, and 1918, three of which were led by Ruth. After the sale, they wouldn't win it all until 2004. Did The Babe curse the Red Sox? You decide.
7. John Elway had his share of failure. He also had his share of success. In total, he went to five Super Bowls. What team did he lead to the big game all five times?

Answer: Denver Broncos

Elway lost his first three times to the game for all the marbles. His team lost to the New York Giants, Washington Redskins, and the San Francisco 49ers. At that point, John was known as a great QB, but couldn't get over the hump and win the big one. That changed at the tail end of his career when he would lead Denver to back to back championships, beating the Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons.
8. Which of these four National Basketball Association teams won the most championships in the 20th century?

Answer: Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers owned the 1980s. They won five of the ten championships in that decade.
9. Few teams in history have defined losing. One of those teams played in the National Football League. Which of these teams lost their first 26 games in franchise history?

Answer: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs sure didn't start out on fire when they entered the league in 1976. But, it wasn't long until they turned it around. They lost in the NFC Championship game in 1980 to the Los Angeles Rams. After a couple more playoff appearances, they returned to being the gutter of the NFL.

Then in the 1990s, they turned it around again. They enjoyed several years of winning and it culminated in a thrashing of the Raiders in the Super Bowl in 2002.
10. This Major League Baseball franchise is possibly the most famous American sports team of all time. It certainly is the most famous baseball team of all time. Which pinstripe wearing team is this?

Answer: New York Yankees

Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, and Joe DiMaggio. MLB's Mount Rushmore can easily be made up of all Yankees. Then there are Yogi Berra, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Reggie Jackson, and I can go on and on listing the all time greats that have worn the pinstripes.

It really is no wonder that this franchise is head and shoulders above every other team in World Series titles (They won their 27th in 2009).
