Only four times since the NCAA expanded March Madness to 64 teams has a 15 seed beaten a 2. Richmond stunned Syracuse in 1991. In 1997, Coppin State toppled South Carolina. Hampton upset Iowa State in 2001. When was the other time?

I think Julio Franco is older than Jesse Orosco.....46 to 45, maybe I'm wrong though.

I'm going to take a guess here, but...

Cal Ripken in Baltimore for 20 or 21 years (I don't remember exactly)
and Yaz in Boston for 23 years
ThePatient

Yaz is right, but Cal isn't.

Its 23 years for both of them.

Brooks Robinson, you big cheater.
Illmatic
05-13-2005, 04:31 PM
That's not cheating.

I threw out a bunch of names who stuck with one team for a long time. That's not cheating, that's hedging your bets.

Question to come when I can think of a good one.

What teams originally drafted Julius Erving and Joe Namath?
Endless Obsession

Miluwake Bucks
NY Jets

From now on wait to see if u are right to post another question, unless you see the person is offline, or you are 100% sure you are right.
Illmatic
05-13-2005, 06:41 PM
The Bucks did indeed draft Dr. J in 1972, but the Jets were not the NFL team that drafted Namath. He was drafted but then defected to the Jets of the AFL.
MattSharpIsCool
05-13-2005, 07:14 PM

ThePatient

Who was the first president to attend an MLB game, what was the date, and were was the game held?
YDload
05-25-2005, 06:17 PM
I think it was William Howard Taft in 1912 at the Senators' field.

Or maybe he was just the first president to throw out the first ball of the season. Oh I just don't know anymore! I want to say Grover Cleveland but I might be getting him confused with old-tyme pitcher Grover Alexander.
