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 I put together 10 questions and called for anyone interested to submit answers.
The winner? That is Stephanie, who gets a $70 gift certificate to CSN Stores! Congratulations.
Oh, the answers? They are:
- Who is the only Red Sox player to hit for the cycle twice? John Valentin.
