Wanna Play Trivia

He and Dick Allen were two guys that sportswriters didn't like.

And both could put a serious hurt on a baseball.

 

Yeah, I’m sure you’ve seen the replay of when the 2nd baseman was going to just tag Albert Belle as he ran by and complete the DP.
That was not Albert’s plan!

 

What famous NBA star was Frank Robinson high school teammates with in California in the 1950’s?

 

That’s a no.

 

Bill Russell?

 

Folks, we have a winner!

 

Who has thrown the fastest pitch for the traditional “first pitch” of a MLB game on record to date?

 

I was going to guess Ryan. Thought he threw one close to 90

 

No on Ryan, he’s in 3rd place @ 85mph.
And Johnson’s in 4th place @ 77mph.

 

I remember Kapernick throwing one that shocked me so that's my guess.

 

Kapernick’s in second place @ 87mph.

 

Truth:If Kapernick was the winning answer then myself wouldn’t have let me post the question!

 

Bo Jackson?

 

Nope.

 

I don't think that it is Cesar Geronimo but if he did ever throw a first pitch I bet it would be very fast. An absolute cannon of an arm.

 

Hint: Higher velocity leans towards later retirement.
