Generally, trivia contests run over the course of multiple months with a grand prize awarded to the victor. However, CSNStores.com’s $70 gift certificate expires January 31, 2011, so this contest will end after this post you are reading. This will be a multi-parter trivia question to make up for it, and those who correctly answered the previous two trivia questions will get a point’s credit.
Currently, Metallattorney has 1 point in this trivia round, with Tony Cunningham the other for correctly identifying Felix Mantilla as the first Puerto Rican-born player to play for Boston. Each question below is worth one point. The one with the most points at the end wins the gift certificate. I will not check the comments for answers. E-mail your responses to firebrandal at gmail.com so everyone has an equal chance at each question. The deadline is Sunday noon, November 21.
