It’s Murphy, great job.

Wow. Surprised he was ahead of Andre Dawson. Just couldn't really think of many other candidates. Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter, Steve Sax, Mike Schmidt, and Ozzie Smith were a few of the 10-year players that I was considering But, none of them stood out as dynamite hitters like Yount, Brett, and Molitor from the AL.

Ok. How about another decade question?

Who currently has the most blocked shots this decade (NBA)?

Name the very famous sports franchise owner whose father was a national track champion in the 1920’s. This owner at one time was a graduate assistant to Woody Hayes.
This owner bought his franchise with several limited partners. Years later one of them said “ There is nothing in this world as limited as being a limited partner of _______.”

Name the former NFL player who was the bachelor on the reality show "The Bachelor." You may ask your wives or significant others for help. I'm forced to watch unless Duke basketball or Yankee baseball is on. That's were the buck stops. :D OFC

Was it players on probation for fighting. ? OFC
Not really sports oriented, so I will explain it and come up with another one. "The Order Of The Chair" was an "honorary" society. In order to be inducted, a student had to do something really scandalous, risqué, embarrassing, etc. Induction was held on Saint Paddy's day. Inductees had to sit on a "chair", which was a commode, placed on the steps between the Chapel and the circular drive. When possible, the ceremony was scheduled between classes when students were moving among class buildings. While on the commode, the inductee would be covered in green grits and required to drink green beer. Given the admission requirements, many inductees were athletes and/or ladies who hung around with them. Not sure whether the Order survived the 60's. I am working on a new trivia.

Wasn't she in the Olympics in 84? Had a strange name related to a farm animal. Mostly, I remember synchronized swimming debuting that Olympics. A vastly underrated event in my opinion.

I agree. I think it's Hogshead. How long are we gonna wait for confirmation. It's been over two days now and no new poster to ask question. No offense to Devilinside but the game needs to move on. maybe he's away from his device or something has happened for him not to respond. I say someone confirm Hogshead and hart ask a question that doesn't take so long for someone to come up with the correct answer. OFC

Thanks hart. I was drawing a blank on the name.

On to the question. Kim Rhode has won medals in six Olympics. What sport does she compete in?
