Will's Trivia Challenge - December 2004

[RyanB06]

Dang, looks like I missed out with this question, too...

[randyc]

bump what happend here?

[wheateater]

is thing still on, or what?

[randyc]

doesn't really look like it, but if will is having family problems or something like that then it is absolutely fine.

[wheateater]

Right. No problem. It's actually kinda good it's not running at the moment because I can't always get to a computer since finals are going on right now....I'd have surely missed a couple questions by now. Still, I miss this competition a little. It's quite fun.

[WJMorris3]

Okay, guys, I know I'm way behind, but work and family come before the trivia game. The good news is that given the fact that people were just returning to the board, I'm going to allow all answers that are in, even the late ones, count.

Judging by the replies Brady Anderson is the most popular power hitter of all time.
