1. On what date was Rafael Furcal born?

Answer: October 24, 1977

Before the 2003 season, Furcal's birth certificate was found, stating that he was born 2 years earlier than he originally said. So instead of his birthday being on 8-24-1981, it was really 10-24-1977. Danny Almonte all over again!
2. Who did Rafael Furcal beat out for the NL Rookie of the Year Award in 2001?

Answer: He didn't win it in 2001.

He actually won it in 2000, when he won it over a very good rookie class.
3. Furcal batted second for the Braves in the batting order for most of 2003.

Answer: False

He batted first in the batting order in 2003, ahead of Marcus Giles.
4. In 2003, Rafael Furcal made a spectacular play, committing the first unassisted triple play in Atlanta Braves history. What team did he do it against?
