3) I think is Ty Cobb, but I'm not too sure on that
7) Forbes Field
On edit:
5 is Cy Young.

0 fer 12. If you gave me the same quiz as (a) or (b) multiple choice I'd still probably only get about three right. ![Grin](http://www.golfhos.com/forum/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)

Soon to be your local trash man.
I don't play golf anymore. Well, maybe I do sort of. I quit keeping score, started drinkning beer and I started playing better.

Americans only love sports invented here. I've been an American for about half my life. That gives me football and maybe March Madness. I fully intend to love baseball right about when I go senile.

6 Who won the first ever World Series? Pittsburgh Pirates, 1903.
8 Before 2004, what was the last team the Boston Red Sox defeated to win the World Series? I thought it was the Chicago Cubs? No idea on the year, though.
12 What team has a counter measuring futility across the street from their ballpark? Chicago Cubs?
nope, yep, yep

#5. I think it is Early Winn. Looked it up. Wayy wrong. ![Red Face](http://www.golfhos.com/forum/Smileys/classic/icon_redface.gif) I was a youngster when he pitched for the Indians, and remember him hitting that number, though not with the Indians. I guess that's as far as my brain goes back.
