6. Several players can thank David Letterman for adding to their fame in 1985 (though perhaps not their fortunes). Terry Forster, for example, became a national hero when the Late Night host referred to the ex-Braves hurler as a "fat tub of goo." Another of Letterman's pet projects last summer was Kansas City Royals shortstop Buddy Biancalana, who suffered through a horrendous. 188 regular season campaign. Ten points if you can remember when Biancalana's first seven consecutive starts of the season occured.

a) The last seven games of the regular season

b) A homestand in July

c) A stretch in May when Onix Concepcion was injured

d) The AL Championship Series vs. the Blue Jays

e) The World Series

7. Moving from the team that won the World Series last year to the team that is predicted by many to win it this year, the New York Mets played in a number of extra inning contests in '85, but none as memorable as their July 4th epic 19-inning thriller at Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium against the Braves which ended at 3:55 a.m. The Independence Day fireworks began at 4:30! Ten points if you can name the player who scored four runs in that contest after entering in the ninth inning.

a) Brad Komminsk

b) Clint Hurdle

c) Gerald Perry

d) Howard Johnson

e) Danny Heep

8. Braves owner Ted Turner, the genius behind that 4:30 a.m. fireworks display, was involved in another debacle in recent years, when he let Phil Niekro go to the Yankees, and then proceded to try to lure him back once he shone in the Big Apple. (Turner ended up settling for a statue of Neikro). Knucksie is also the oldest current major leaguer, having just celebrated another birthday on April 1. Five points if you can name Phil's exact age, and five more if you can identify the only player on the list below who is older than Niekro.

a) Zoilo Versalles
