...is pretty simple. I was tired of opening up the home page and seeing the headline "Duke down by 14 at the half" under this category.
So, how 'bout two baseball trivia questions. First, name the two players who hit home runs while teenagers and after they were 40 years old. Second, there have been 13 black 20-game winners. Name them.
No fair looking these up on the Internet.

Could the answer to the first be Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays? Let me start on the second. I presume this in African American, not South American. I'll start with Bob Gibson. How am I doing??

Ken Griffey Jr.? He's got to be 40 or so by now.

I'd guess Hank Aaron for hrs & for pitchers a few I remember Don Newcombe,Fergie Jenkins, & maybe Stewert & JD Richards. There of course are a few from Latin American countries.

Gary Sheffield is one of them!
Ken Griffey Jr. isn't one of them because he just turned 40 not that long ago (November?) and he hasn't hit a HR this year yet.

Now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure the other HR one is Ty Cobb.
