Baseball on Jeopardy quiz

[rhd]

I just type really fast and play a lot of trivia lol. I was just surprised because I hit "give up" with like 6 minutes to go.

15 mins to answer 41 questions is only 22 secs per question. Real Final Jeopardy is 30 seconds, so they should have given us 20 mins 30 secs for the whole thing.

What's the deal with the Walter Johnson reenactment? I never heard of that.

I hadn't heard of it either, but http://articles.latimes.com/2012/sep...ngton-20120921

And then find out you were right, just inputting it wrong.

Yeah, I ate up way too much time trying to get the right spelling for a player's name I really should have known how to spell. Darn Irish names.

That was fun. I made the mistake of doing this at work (didn't realize how long it was) ... was interrupted twice, only got 22 before time ran out, but I don't think I would have got more than another 3 or 4. I think I went through 29 teams before figuring out which had the same 4 letters.

What was the right answer? I was trying to mentally figure it out.

I got 33. And I didn't realize until the end that there were years beside the questions.

Oh man, I'd have gotten at least a few more wrong if I didn't realize that. Esp for the later ones, I was stumped on one for awhile until i remembered there were teams back then that don't exist now.

Marlins and Mariners. Took me a while to think of it, too.

That dang Walter Johnson one got me. I kept thinking of old timey things he could've thrown across a river - cannonball, musket ball, flag pole - never would have guessed the correct answer.

Almost lost the kids toy one on spelling, realized right at the end that I might have the wrong spelling.

I thought it was one of the quizzes where you only got one guess so I took way too long at the beginning. Luckily it didn't come back to bite me, I still had over a minute before I gave up on the Johnson question.

Had the same issue with the kids toy one. Kept inserting an unnecessary "h" in there.

That and the two teens. I shorted one their names a silent letter then kept trying to fix the other one. I flat didn't know the R&R HoF question. I did get the expansion team question but not the four letter one.

My favorite was the tombstone question. I didn't know that.
