Family Feud XIV - the sports edition

The Game Room
1

Family Feud XIV - I liked the Movie Edition that was posted a few feuds ago, so I decided to try my hand at this. Note to non-American dopers - the questions here all refer to sports that are popular in North America, not out of local chauvinism but because I am not knowledgeable enough to ask real questions about cricket, rugby, soccer, etc. Sorry.

Rules, in case you are new are this: DON’T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!

Post your responses to the questions. When there have been 50 responses, I will give each response two points. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points for that question. After 50 sets of responses have been posted, I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are ten questions and a maximum of 1000 possible points.

Format for your answers: You don’t need to repeat the questions, but please number the answers.

Good luck!

For those folks who have already responded, a question: do MLB players actually go to Japan to play during the off-season? I thought the Japanese season ran only a month or two off of MLB’s season
