Hello, everyone and welcome the newest installment of FireBrand trivia sponsored by Greatest Game CD.
Today’s trivia question:
Note: This is not Red Sox trivia but I think it is fitting…
How many games did it take for the Detroit Tigers to dispose of the New York Yankees in the 2006 ALDS?
HONOR CODE: No search engines.
Previous question answer: The Red Sox regular with at least 100 games played with the highest BABIP was Adrian Gonzalez. His BABIP is .380.
No one answered this correctly. That’s a downer but I commend you all for not breaking the honor system that Evan Brunell has in place!
And now a word from our sponsor:
The Nashville-based music collective The Thrill Building, lead by musician-writer-producer Fran Kowalski, presents “The Greatest Game In The World.” This album is unparalleled, a 22-song tribute to baseball that includes songs about everything from the front office (renowned GM Roland Hemond), to the stadium vendor (‘Hot Dog Man’), to the PA announcer (Bob Sheppard), and, of course, to the players and the dynamics of the game itself. As Kowalski says, “Baseball rocks! It’s simultaneously explosive, instinctive, heart-wrenching, and comical. In writing and recording the songs for the CD, we wanted to touch on everything we could that impassioned us about baseball…the sheer greatness, grit and suspense of the game.” The top five finishers will each receive a CD.
