Cleveland Sports Trivia

I'll go with Trent Richardson. I'm pretty sure that he was blind.

Questions for today:

- What 1966 film featuring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau tells the story of an injured cameraman trying to obtain a large settlement from the Browns?  ( I can remember when this was being filmed at Municipal Stadium)

- For how many consecutive seasons did Otto Graham lead the Browns to the (AAFC and then NFL) championship game?

10 for Graham, every year that he played

That is correct and quite an amazing feat!

I think the movie is The Fortune Cookie. I remember my Dad telling me about this movie and that it was filmed at Municipal Stadium.

Some 1920 World Series questions for Super Bowl Sunday:

- What Indians outfielder hit the first grand slam in World Series history?

- What Indians second baseman turned the first (and only) unassisted triple play in World Series history?

- Bonus: What Indian hit the first World Series home run by a pitcher?

- Super Bonus: What did all three feats have in common?

grand slam Elmer Smith? I think I heard this question on a Indians TV broadcast and I think Rick Manning was pissed because it was a question about a Tribe outfielder and he wasn't the answer.
