Sunday Morning Trivia
« on: April 19, 2009, 10:05:56 am »
Mornin' everyone.  It's always more fun th do these after an Astros win.

Seven different Astros pitchers have recorded 100 or more strikeouts in their rookie season.  Who are they?  (this is something they did in a Houston uniform)

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.
