I dont like those types of questions. It comes down to an educated guess at best. No one ( or darned few!) actually know that. I did get it right on an educated guess. Figured 9 was definitely too high, so it came down to either 7 or 8, and then I thought 7 sounded a bit low.
No one likes those types of questions.
They are usually the product of either the writer's laziness or grasp of topic. Given the overall quality of the games over the last few months, I'll chalk it up to simple deadline panic or short term lack of inspiration.

Also got the Goerge Stone/ St.Louis Browns question right on an educated guess. But darned if I didnt forget that Marc Bulger was a WVU grad so gave away those 500 points. Couldnt even make an educated guess on the '98 Brazilian soccer coach so that was a pure "button-pushing" endeavor which proved futile.
What? You mean everyone didn't pre-call "St. Louis Browns" on that one? How hard is it to know your 1906 AL batting/OBP champs?
In case it ever comes up, only two Browns won BA titles and they're both named George: George Stone and George Sisler.
Man, am I going to enjoy the baseball themed games on Monday nights in July... Mwah! Ha! Ha!
Oh...sorry, was I laughing maniacally out loud?
