> [@RickJay](#): > > RJ 6 - That was too easy. What pitcher holds the record for the most games PITCHED with any one team? If relief appearances count, I’ll go with Jon Smoltz. Still unanswered: > [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > R5: (Rugby Union) Where did England play most of its home international matches before Twickenham Stadium was built? And some new ones: R6: What NFL running back has the career record for yards per carry (with over 1,000 carries)? R7: Fritz Pollard was one of the first two black players in what is now the NFL (then the AFPA). Who was the other one? R8: Prior to losing to Nadal in last year’s Wimbledon final, Roger Federer had not lost a match at Wimbledon since 2002, where he went out in the first round. Who did he lose to that year? ---

Jim Brown is second on the list. Correction - it’s a minimum of 300 carries, not 1,000, and it makes a difference. Not Tank Younger. ---

300 is very, very few. Which means it must be either Vick, or somebody who went to UCF who I didn’t know went to UCF. ---

All my questions have been answered correctly (Rick got 4 of them)- and I’m embarrassed I left out Tony Dungy (I first learned the question before he took to Colts to a championship). Of course, of the 3, Mike Ditka was the only one who made a real contribution as a player- he scored a touchdown against the Dolphins, and still thinks he should have been the MVP of Super Bowl 6. Dungy and Flores were benchwarmers, for the most part. ---

> [@Jimmy\_Chitwood](#): > > RJ 3’s gotta be Shaq. > > RJ 4 - two, right? Won three and was stripped of one? Right on 3, just barely missed on 4. Amazing fact: Shaq has made one 3-pointer in his entire career. [QUOTE=5 time champ] RJ 5 - What baseball player holds the record for the most games played with one team? Hank Aaron, albeit in two cities [/QUOTE] No sir. Aaron is second. For 5tC1, I’m quite certain Pete Rose is the answer. ---

Well, sure, but there wouldn’t be someone with that many who averaged more than the running quarterbacks do. RJ 5, if it isn’t Ripken, has to be… well, I can’t spell it. Yaz. ---

I know Paul Robeson played pro football – was it him? **RickJay** : Since you said Ripken was “pretty close” for the “most games with one team” guy, I’ll guess another Baltimore infielder – Brooks Robinson. ---

I worded the question totally wrongly - I was looking for running backs only.
