1. Hamilton played for the Lakers in the NBA finals, but they lost to the Celtics that year (ironically, Conley was on the Celtics team that beat him). 2. > [@](#): > > I don’t know this one, but are the teams the Dodgers (or rather, the Brooklyn team known by a few names from 1900-40), Giants before San Fran, and Yankees? You’d think so, but, oddly enough, no. 1. I’m sorry, **Reeder** , but it must be phrased in the form of a question. 🙂 2. Brentley was the NL leader, but not the Major League leader. 3. **Airman** is right. ---
