This is my 51st post in Victory Charade. That's significant for a number of reasons.
There are 51 states in the US, 51 separate muscles in the human groin and Jose Canseco got thrown out stealing third 51 times.
Party Time!!!
No.
Just because it's a sportsblog doesn't mean it's completely mindless.
I would have done something special at # 50, but I didn't realize it was # 50 until I posted it.
So now I'm doing something special.
Trivia contest:
Tell me what is special about the number 20,909 in the world of sports.
Your first hint is that it involves a sport currently in season, but pitchers and catchers
already reported to spring training, so that doesn't narrow it down much.
It's kind of a tough question, but the prize is something from my own personal sports memorabilia collection. I am not showing what it is because I don't want to given any false clues or real clues.
Here are the rules:
The person who answers correctly must post the answer on this blog-no Facebook, Myspace, or spray painting my garage.
The person who answers must explain the answer in context.
The winner must live in the U.S., because I don't wanna go broke shipping something I really don't want to part with anyway. In fact, I'd prefer not to ship it at all, but I will.
Yes I'm trying to drive traffic to this blog.
If no one gets it in the first 12 hours, I will post a clue.
20, 909.
Good luck.
1st Clue (way later than promised, but a clue nonetheless): The number refers to an occurrence pre 1960. That should narrow your Google search.

ReplyDeleteNo. Nothing to do with attendance at the soon to be old arena. No one is gonna miss those stairs.
DeleteNumber of points earned by the Production Line?
ReplyDeleteGordie scored 1,850 career NHL points, so even if you added Ted and Sid and spotted 'em Alex and Mickey and the odd assist and goal by Sawchuk, nope.

DeleteNumber of lifetime at-bats of George Herman "Babe" Ruth.
ReplyDeleteI added his regular and postseason play appearances, his games pitched, his career strikeouts (as a pitcher) and shutouts and you're still shy of 20K by a pretty wide margin. But thanks for playing.&)
