Obscure Sports Trivia Information

by Alexander G. Ross

Sports trivia has become the equivalent of everyday knowledge. If you ask a sports fan, he or she may know more than the common person, but everyone knows certain things about the sports world, like Lakers guard Ervin Johnson’s nickname (Magic), George Herman Ruth’s nickname, and many other small facts in the sports world.

Amazingly enough, there are many that would stump even the most knowledgeable fans. I’m going to share a few that will stun you, amuse you, and give you a few more cool things to share with your friends. I hope you enjoy them.

For example, Duke Farrell, a former professional catcher, once threw out 8 men trying to steal a base in one game. Might as well have credited him with the win, that’s 8 outs he caused and 8 potential runs he saved.

In 1972, there was a regional boys’ basketball tournament held in Sweden. The final score of the game? 274 to 0. And 272 of the points were scored by the same kid.

Many players in recent years have served above 130 MPH, a few above 140, and a select few above 150, but Michael Sangster of England served 154 MPH in 1963, all done with a wooden racquet.

A man by the name of Robert Wyler, from Glendale, CA, has played as many as 1,000 games of chess, all through the mail.
