Sample Questions
Baseball
When Roger Maris hit 61 home runs to break Babe Ruth’s record in 1961, he faced some criticism from those who pointed out that Ruth did it in 154 games, compared to Maris' 162. However, though no research has ever confirmed it, it’s possible that some of Ruth’s home runs in 1927 were of the “bounce” variety. The last bounce home run was hit by Al Lopez in September 1930, and the rule was changed before the 1931 season. What, specifically, are “bounce home runs” called today?
Automatic double/Ground rule double
