Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I am remembered mainly for my dramatic come-from-behind gold medal victory in the 800 Meters at the 1972 Olympic Games. I was a graduate of Lincoln High School and Bowling Green State University, and set the world record for the 800 Meters only a few months before my Olympic win. My trademark was the golf cap I wore at the Games and from then on. Who am I?
2. I graduated from Glenwood High School in 1967 and went to the University of Michigan. I was a stalwart of the St. Louis Cardinals' offensive line for many seasons, playing guard, left tackle, right tackle, and finally center for them. I was later inducted into the Hall of Fame. Who am I?
3. I was born in Akron, but grew up in Canton and went to Lehman High School. At Kent State University, I was a teammate of pitcher Steve Stone, the guy who gave up former Cleveland Indians second baseman Duane Kuiper's one and only major league home run. I met a tragic end in a plane crash and had the biggest funeral in Canton's history. Even Reggie Jackson came. Who am I?
4. I played for Paul Brown's Great Lakes Naval team and am considered by many to have been one of the top backs in the history of football. I was a graduate of Canton McKinley High School and spent all but one season (1955) with the Browns. Who am I?
5. I was a 1976 first round draft pick of the New England Patriots and also played for the Rams and Chargers, making it to the Pro Bowl in 1980. I graduated from Glenwood High School in 1972, where I was a running back, but Woody Hayes shifted me to safety in college. Not too many people know that I was also an excellent tuba player in junior high school. Who am I?
6. I graduated from Oakwood High School and went to tiny West Liberty State, but my NFL career was anything but tiny. I was a safety for Green Bay for several years and am a member of the Packers Hall of Fame. Currently, I coach football at Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School, LeBron James' alma mater. Most people recall me as being totally hairless. Who am I?
7. I was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, but grew up in Canton, graduating from McKinley High School. I played forward for the old Capital/Washington Bullets for several years. Who am I?
8. I was an assistant coach with the Washington Wizards. I must have been pretty mad when my Wizards were beaten by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs, because I used to play for Cleveland (and also the Detroit Pistons). I am also a McKinley high school graduate. Who am I?
9. I am an oddity in this bunch. In spite of being born and raised in Canton, I carry dual citizenship. A GlenOak grad, I recently chose to sign with an agent and gave up what looked like a great college basketball career. I am extremely popular in the other country where I am a citizen, and may play pro ball there after I am finished being on their National Team in the Olympics. Who am I?
10. I played third base for the Orioles and Expos, and was also drafted by the NBAs Philadelphia 76ers. I was pretty much a fringe player, but will be forever remembered as the answer to the trivia question, "Who replaced Cal Ripken at third base for the Orioles when he ended his consecutive games streak?" Who am I?
