I had a video cassette of Masters of the Gridiron.

I had a video cassette of Masters of the Gridiron. 

I did too, probably still do somewhere.

Two questions for today:

- What Parma native parlayed reality TV fame into a pro wrestling career, making his WWE debut in September 2006?  (I never heard of this guy)

- What nine-time All-Star known as The Cuban Comet” made his MLB debut with the Indians on April 19, 1949?

Mike “The Miz” no clue last name haha

The Miz also reps Cleveland hard. He’s pretty damn famous at this point and now has his own reality show (which I’ve never seen). But he’s always photographed in Browns and Tribe gear and always posting about them online.

“The Miz” is the exact answer on the card.  And interesting info on him. 

Minnie minosa. I remember him playing for the Sox when I was a kid. He was about 100 years old.

Jack "The Cuban Comet" Brohamer.

Did spellcheck do that to you? Minoso is correct. I got to see him play a few years when he was with the Tribe in 1959 and 1960.  His career was basically over in 1964, but was brought back for a few at bats in 1976 and 1980 at the age of Methuselah. (54)

It was either spell check or fat finger typing :)

I lol’ed when I saw “mimosa”.

BTW, I recall that Bill Veeck brought Minoso back in 1976 and 1980 for a few at bats and the reason was so that he could be the only person to play in 5 decades.

I must remember when he was brought back.

A couple questions for today:

- Paul Brown is credited with inventing what commonly used “trick” running play?

- What Browns nose tackle is credited with sacking John Elway during “The Drive”?
