Sports Trivia!

EL3: In what Olympic event was future General George Patton a competitor?
Dressage.

(Please let it be dressage - because that would be hilarious.)

It was pentathlon (1912 Games, he finished fifth).

But horses are involved, though.

Tyson was #16. I’ll give another hint if I can think of one that isn’t a dead giveaway.

I’ll second RickJay, Patton competed in modern pentathalon. I remember it came up in a thread on famous people who were Olympians or something like that.

ETA: Looks like I seconded a second too late!

And in that vein,

EL7: In what sport was Geena Davis a finalist for the 2000 US Olympic Team?

Also,

EL8: Jose Canseco boxed to a draw with what former TV actor?

EL9: Who threw the first official pitch at Cleveland Municipal Stadium and the ceremonial LAST pitch there as well?

Archery.

Hmm…Tony Danza?

Archery, yes. “Hold Me Closer” Tony Danza, no.

EL8: Jose Canseco boxed to a draw with what former TV actor?
Lou Ferrigno? If not, I’ll go with Emanuel Lewis.

No, but closer. :wink:

Heh. I just looked it up, and I should have gone with my gut.

Count the headlice on his hiney? :smiley:

Jesus S. Christ, that’s one hell of a vertical leap.

Spinks won one?

What baseball player was an active Major Leaguer when Babe Ruth hit his last home run and Hank Aaron hit his first?

Mel Harder.

Was it Vic Raschi? I know he was involved in either that or a similar “one legend goin’ out, one comin’ in” scenario.

Nope, not Raschi. Vic didn’t come in until 1946. The Babe was long retired by then.

Leon or Michael?

Either way, the answer is yes. Leon won the title by beating Muhammad Ali in a title fight. Michael beat Larry Holmes twice in title fights.

Who is the only NFL quarterback to throw touchdowns on three consecutive passes? (LaDanian Tomlinson doesn’t count, obviously)

Except it was actually Foreman.

Akli said when he fought Foreman his arms hurt horribly. Just blocking punches was painful.

Bob Feller?
