Just a guess...........Robin Yount?

Just a guess...........Robin Yount?

Nope. I will give a hint though. It was within the last 15 years.

 

[Diamond Jim]

Mickey Morandini. He is the only player that I can remember making an unassisted triple play in the last 15 years, so...I'm going with him.


Also, HD is that the great Oscar Gamble in your avatar?

No, it wasn't Mikey Morandini. And just to be clear, there was actually a player THIS year to have an unassisted triple play. His name is Astrabul Cabrera and he was on the Indians (currently sent down to AAA to work on his hitting). Clue #2 is that it is not Cabrera.

Also, HD is that the great Oscar Gamble in your avatar?

Yes. My avatar is a photo of Oscar Gamble.

The 2001-02 NBA season is known for three things:

1. The last year NBC televised the NBA

2. The last great season for the Celtics until this year

3. A dynasty was cemented

But, another part of the NBA ended that season.

Can you name that?

I can't believe I didn't get this off the bat..........it was John Valentin. I forgot Johnny V had a 3 HR game.


Awesome question!!!

 

[SabresRule]

Credibility?

No.

I'll give you a hint:

It has to do with playoff format.

 

[BillD1984]

No.

It has to do with playoff format.

First Round changed from best of five to best of seven?

 

[SabresRule]

First Round changed from best of five to best of seven?

Correct!

The 2001-02 season was the last of the best-of-five first of round years.

Do you like the best-of-seven first-round or do you prefer the days of the best-of-five?

 

[jwfgeol]

Correct!

The 2001-02 season was the last of the best-of-five first of round years.

Do you like the best-of-seven first-round or do you prefer the days of the best-of-five?

I liked the best-of-five for the 1st round. Seven seems to drag on.

Was that the trivia question? Did I get it right?

 

[BillD1984]

Correct!

The 2001-02 season was the last of the best-of-five first of round years.

Do you like the best-of-seven first-round or do you prefer the days of the best-of-five?

I much prefer the best-of-seven, which reminds me, is MLB ever gonna go to a best-of-seven for the LDS?

Yes, that was the question.

However, BillDel got it first.

Sabres, it's kind of been an unwritten rule here in the Trivia Thread that another question isn't brought up until the first active question is answered. By having multiple questions going at the same time just confuses the issue.

Thanks.
