Need help coming up with Brewers triva questions

[jason21nl]

I'm getting married Saturday and I hate the clinking of glasses. So instead, we are doing Brewers trivia and if they want us to kiss they have to answer the question correctly. I'd like to have the questions range from easy to medium difficulty with some hard ones in there as well.

 

I'm interested to see what you guys come up with! Thanks!

Brew Crew Ball does a Thursday Thinker all through the offseason. Search the site. I'd also hit up Sporcle.

If I think of a question I'll post it here, but in the meantime congratulations in advance. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

It's hard to hack on 3-0 when Chuckie hacks on 2-0. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Who are the four players in Brewers history to compile seasons of 30 HRs, 100 RBI's, and a .300+ batting average.

 

Ryan Braun (2011) Cecil Cooper (1982, 1983) Ben Oglivie (1980) and who could forget John Jaha (1996)

 

The real stumper of course is Jaha. Common wrong answers are Prince, Yount, Molitor, Jenkins, Burnitz.

 

Also, a great resource for coming up with Brewers trivia questions is the Franchise Timeline on Brewers.com Just about every factoid listed from 1970 to present could be turned into a trivia question.

TooLiveBrew and I were in attendance at jason21nl wedding this weekend. It was lovely and the bride was gorgeous.

And bf.net would be very happy to know there were plenty of Brewer references from the trivia (although it was done a little differently than mentioned) to the favors to the Grand March.

BTW, I never heard of the Grand March until I moved to Wisconsin. I'm been to plenty of weddings (only on the east coast) where the wedding party is introduced but not with something choreographed. I'm assuming it's a Wisconsin tradition.

[jason21nl]

Thanks everyone for the question ideas! I had about 25 of them written down but forgot them in the limo so instead of everyone else having to answer questions, I had people ask my wife and I questions. Betancourt still getting under my skin as I didn't know how to spell his first name!

 

It was nice to see you guys there!! Thank you for coming http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[hawing]

So, whose walkup music did you use for the Grand March (which I didn't even know was a term)?
