5. Kirk Gibson, the Tigers' star right fielder, had an All America football career at Michigan State before choosing to play pro baseball. Can you name, for five points each:

(a) The former All America quarterback who spent last season as a pinch hitter with the Toronto Blue Jays?

(b) The White Sox pitcher who played several seasons with the Detroit Pistons in the 1960's?

6. Al Oliver, the much traveled first baseman-outfielder, turned many heads last year when he called himself "the most unselfish player in the history of baseball," Oliver's characterization evokes two five-point questions about sacrifice hits:

(a) Which recently elected Hall of Famer hit more than 500 home runs but never laid down a sacrifice bunt?

(b) The 1974 Yankees set a major league record for sacrifice files by a team. Can you name their left fielder, who in the same season established the sacrifice fly record for a single player?

7. By the time Bobby Bonds played his last game for the Yankees' AAA farm team in 1983, he had passed through eight major league organizations and worn off his label as "the next Willie Mays." Bonds did set the single season record for strikeouts, with 189 in 1970. For ten points, who holds the career record, with Willie Stargell a distant second?

8. Steve Mura, now out of the major leagues, led the 1982 Cardinals in victories, but manager Whitey Herzog chose not to pitch him in the playoffs or World Series, and left him unprotected in the free agent compensation pool that winter. Mura's departure was the first move in the breakup of that World Series champion. Two points each for naming the compensation the Cardinals received for trading away these key players from their World Series winner.

(a) Keith Hernandez

(b) Ken Oberkfell

(c) George Hendrick

(d) David Green

(e) Bruce Sutter

9. Bill Lee, the spaceman left-hander who endeared himself to Boston fans in the mid-1970's, failed to gain a roster spot in his comeback attempt with the Giants this spring. However, Vida Blue found a home with the Giants, making him one of four members of the 1972 A's dynasty that still plays in the majors. Five points if you can name two of the other former A's; ten for all three.

10. Gene Mauch, Billy Martin, Sparky Anderson, and Earl Weaver all played the same position in their playing careers-second base. Catchers and infielders comprise the vast majority of big league managers, but former pitchers have managed three of the last seven World Series winners. Ten points if you can name two of the three.
