Trivia First Question

[iceminers26]

SBR must be tighten up, here is my opening trivia question tonight:

Who led Bishop Hendricken High School in RI to 4 consecutive state baseball titles?


wow we are down to high school questions on the first question.

[VegasInsider]

Rocco Baldelli?

I should probably know this...I live 10 miles from Hendricken.

[beerman2619]

wow i hope i don't start getting those damn.

[Cuse0323]

Definitely seem to be getting tougher. First one was who was leading the AL east in a strike year then who were the Rockets thinking about drafting instead of Yao.

[iceminers26]

Rocco Baldelli? I should probably know this...I live 10 miles from Hendricken.

yeah it was Rocco, I didn't have a fkn clue

I remember when I was getting first questions like what a rim is connected to and what a football is made of and now they throw this high school question on me right out of the gates, didn't have a clue

[Jericholic]

Wow, that is brutal.

[VegasInsider]

I figured. That's a brutal fukin question for a 10 pointer. You either have to know that Rocco is the biggest ballplayer to come out of RI or live here like I do. High school baseball questions..unreal.

To SBR's credit, they did at least slip into the question RI but still hard one to get if like you said you don't live around that area or have not followed Rocco's career.

[clip1]

they sure don't make it easy on you

[Skidcom]

Was killed with my question too

[biggamer3]

questions have gotten real tough lately

[kylehen_son]

my 1st one was "what position was Mark Mcgwire recruited for in college?", not easy...

Got all 3 right though

[ryanspeer2001]

Damn miners that is a rough 1st question.

[onlooker]

[floridagolfer]

I haven't been past a Question 1 yet. I guess I need to spend more time catching up on worthless information.

[MexicanStallion]

I had an easy one today. It was something about Tennis and the other three choices weren't even associated with Tennis. I think one answer was Larry Byrd.

The second question was a lousy tennis question that I missed.

[nyed1010]

My 2nd question was way easier than the first. My first question was something like "what was the name of the bobblehead that given out on the day of David Well's perfect game?". How are you supposed to know this if you didn't attend the game, and even then, would you even remember that detail about some bobble head, especially after a perfect game was thrown. Well anyway, I luckily guessed "Valentino". The second question was just a common sense question where the question was like "what stat did this 1-A player in 2001 break by gaining 2,120. The options were like, receiving yards(obvious correct answer), touchdowns(no way someone is scoring 2,120 tds), etc.

[stikymess]

My 1st question was a softball. Something like slang or term used for a bad shot in basketball?

[Bill Dozer]

It's all luck of the draw ...what the Jeopardy guys who make come up with em thought of the Q's difficulty. That guy who did that Q must have been from RI... and drunk.

Iceminer, You have another crack at trivia. GL!

[Rollins08]

These questions have gotten really tough. I think SBR is looking to save some points.

[spartangreen]

my 1st question today was.

What injury did Patrick Traverse have in 2006.

I knew the guy played hockey, but thats about it, got it wrong and looked him up. He played for the Worchester Sharks in the AHL.

[kickenchicken]

gotta love trivia

[tickingclock1]

That question is absolutely insane. I got what shape is a college football field?

[THE PROFIT]

I just hit all 3 for the first time since the first week of trivia!!! My first question was how many innings are in a regulation baseball game

[cloudagh]

I thought mine was brutal where they are talking about completions in the question and then the answer was rushing. Now after seeing yours, I suppose mine was at least on the planet.

[ouman101]

I wish I could remember my last 5 first questions. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about sports and they have all been off the wall. Even today's was pretty difficult for a 10 point question:

What year did Derek Jeter win Rookie of the Year?

1997, 1996,1998, 1995

I guessed 1995. I think the "googlers" are ruining it for everyone. I see some guys who get 125 points every time there is trivia.

everyone has gotten this ?..and its a beanie baby not a bobblehead

got second question I knew it dead center..other than tampa bay..what second nfl team expansion in 1976?

I loved the seahawks that year

And this is what pisses me off too. There doesn't seem to be any sense put into what level a question is. He gets how many innings are in a baseball game and the time before last I got a question that was about 1880's football.

GJ on getting them all right though.

i still disagree. 20 seconds is not enough time to copy the question, paste it, find a good link (because most won't show the answer just on the search page), find the answer, go back to the trivia and click on said answer and then click submit.

Maybe a few guys are just Hella smart (or really old). It just seems unlikely to me to see guys that have gotten 125 pts the last 5+ trivia times, especially with the obscurity of a lot of the questions.

like john said its kinda a luck of the draw. some are just common sense but some like "who played center for the cedar valley girls highschool football in 1893" is ungoogleable no matter how good of a computer whiz you are

[DeluxeLiner]

i just plan on cashing out instead going for it because i am really really bad at trivia

[scottie2005]

What college did Jim "Crash" Jensen play for? Guessed Boston University and got lucky

[onlooker]

It's all luck of the draw ...
