Wait, was he a member of 5 “one hit wonders”?
You got it!
Tony Burrows, five time one hit wonder.
Anyone want to field the next one?
Good job, @Cheesesteak . I was confused what the heck it could be.
Very cool!
Agreed, excellent puzzle and a neat story.
I liked that one.
He won one of his sports highest awards, but no one knows who he is. Why?
I believe Google would solve this one immediately, so extra care not to look anything up.
When you say “no one,” do you mean,
Literally nobody but himself?
Literally nobody, including himself?
Literally nobody except possibly his friends and family?
Literally nobody but his team/employers/a group of people involved in his achievement?
“Nobody” in a figurative sense, like he’s just not very famous and you wouldn’t expect a random person off the street to have heard of him?
Was his identity intentionally kept secret?
Was he a professional athlete?
Was the achievement related to a particular game/sporting event?
Or something like a Lifetime Achievement award or place in the Hall of Fame?
Is this a team sport?
An individual sport?
Is the sport itself so obscure that few people would be expected to know about award winners?
Is (was?) our guy one of the competing athletes?
Or a behind-the-scenes person, such as a coach, trainer, scout, dietician… whatever?
Good questions.
Wait just a minute. This is a team sport, but only friends, family, and the guy himself know who he is.
Does that mean the team doesn’t know his real identity?
It is unclear if that is entirely true, but yes, I think that is the case.
Did he wear a mask? A helmet? Some other face-concealing headgear?
Was he a wrestler?
Is he still active in the sport?
Was he active recently?
Did this happen in modern times? In history? In classical times?
This was the early 20th century, folks. So modern times, but not today.
Did he play as a part of the team?
Did he play as a part of the team from the beginning of the game/event to the end?
Did he play as a part of the team for only one game/event?
Is this a “ball” sport?
Was he a last-minute substitute for an absent team member?
Was he part of the crowd who somehow stepped in and won it all?
Was his sport Basketball? Baseball? American Football? Soccer? Hockey? Boat racing? A track-and-field event? Cricket? Rugby?
Was he American?
Yeppers
Boat racing
Non-american
I think I’ve heard of this.
Was this a British event?
NO
kkkkkk
Was the award an Olympic medal?
