Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who was the last member of the Minnesota North Stars in the National Hockey League to record a 50 goal season?

Answer: Brian Bellows

After the 1992-93 NHL season, the Minnesota North Stars relocated to Dallas where they became known as the Stars. Only two players ever scored 50 goals as members of the Minnesota North Stars, Dino Ciccarelli (1981-82 and 1986-87) and Brian Bellows (1989-90).
The picture is of actor Tracy Morgan, who played the character Brian Fellows on the television series "Saturday Night Live".
2. Who was the first-ever NBA basketball player to score 4000 points in one season?

Answer: Wilt Chamberlain

Chamberlain, nicknamed 'Wilt the Stilt', had a ridiculous 1961-62 season with the Philadelphia Warriors. He scored 4029 points in the season, which included scoring 100 points in one game. Wilt reached the 3000-point mark three times in his career. Even after another 50 seasons, he was still the only player to score 4000 points in a season, and only one of two greats to hit the 3000-point mark. Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls hit the 3000-season point mark, scoring 3041 points in the 1986-87 season. Robertson's career high was 2480 points in the 1963-64 season. Mikan never scored even 2000 points in a season. The photo is of people walking on stilts.
3. What is windsurfing a combination of?

Answer: Surfing and sailing

The rig consists of a sail and a bow, but instead of being placed on a boat, the rig is placed on a board similar to a surfboard. Windsurfing became a sport in the Olympics in 1984.

4. In NASCAR auto racing, who was the first-ever driver that was black-flagged in the Daytona 500 because he forgot to put his helmet on, and was racing under green flag without it?

Answer: Herman Beam

This happened in 1959 at Daytona. Beam raced in NASCAR from 1957-1963. He set a record which began in 1961 for finishing in 84 consecutive races before receiving a DNF (did not finish) in 1963 at Atlanta Motor Speedway due to a blown engine. He ran with the number 19 on his door. Clint Bowyer almost broke Beam's record in 2009 with 83 consecutive finishes, but crashed at the Southern 500 at Darlington to stop his streak.
The picture reflects a variety of alcoholic beverages, including Jim Beam bourbon whiskey.
5. There are five types of polo played. There is water polo played in a pool, outdoor polo played on grass, arena polo played in an all-weather arena, snow polo played on snow, and also beach polo played on sand. What is the name of a segment played in an outdoor polo match?

Answer: Chukka

There can be four, six, or eight chukkas in a polo match. There are seven minutes in each chukka. The highest handicap for a polo player in outdoor polo on grass is 10, while the lowest handicap for a polo player in outdoor polo on grass is -2. There are two umpires on horses on the field and one on the sidelines.

6. Who was the first overall draft pick in the 2003 NHL Draft?

Answer: Marc-Andre Fleury

Fleury started off shaky but had since proven to be a top-notch goaltender. This was proven when he helped the Pittsburgh Penguins to a Stanley Cup in 2008-09.

7. The first All-American youth Soap Box Derby auto race took place in 1934. Who was the first-ever driver stripped of his title?

Answer: Jimmy Gronen

In 1973, the 14-year old Gronen, who won all his heat races by a large margin, was found to have his tires soaked in a chemical which provided less grip on the Akron, Ohio race course which created more speed. After officials made him change the tires, he still won the finals race by a huge margin. Later, x-rays of the car by race officials found that he had an electromagnetic device in the nose cone of the car, which pulled him forward faster.

After being stripped of the title two days later, Bret Yarborough was declared the official winner. An engineer named Robert Lange who designed the derby car was indicted for contributing to the delinquency of a minor and paid a huge fine. The photo is of Nascar champion Jimmie Johnson.
8. What a way to end a baseball career, hitting a home run in your final Major League at-bat. Which of the following players did not accomplish this?

Answer: Mike Piazza

Cochrane hit a solo shot as a Detroit Tiger, number 119 after 13 seasons on May 25, 1937. Boston's Ted Williams hit his home run in his final at-bat on September 28, 1960. It was number 521 for Williams' career. On October 3, 2004, Zeile retired his bat with home run number 253. Piazza ended his career as an Oakland Athletic on September 30, 2004. He was 1-for-4, his only hit being a single. Mike retired with 427 home runs.

9. The U.S. Open tennis tournament for men's singles began annually in 1881. Who was the first man from the USA to win five tournaments?

Answer: Richard Sears

Sears not only was the first to win five, but he won seven consecutive from 1881-1887. He defeated Henry Slocum of the U.S. in 1887 for his seventh crown, then Slocum took his revenge by stopping Sears' streak in 1888. Larned also won five consecutive tournaments from 1907-1911. Tilden won six consecutive tournaments from 1920-1925. Budge won only two U.S. Opens.
Pictured is the infamous Sears catalog.
10. Which NFL team was the first to go to a Super Bowl, and not score a touchdown in the big game?

Answer: Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins met the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl VI in January 1972. The Cowboys defeated Miami, 24-3. The Dolphins would stay in the hunt, and go through the 1972 season with a perfect record, and win the Super Bowl over the Redskins.
