I think Mychal Thompson was drafted by Portland (in 76 or 78?) and was traded to San Anotonio when Lakers picked him up. (not sure)

And I think the Jazz traded their number one pick (which turned out to be Magic Johnson) for Gail Goodrich.

This would have been much easier if I could've google'd it. :)

Yeah but then it wouldn't be a challenge any more.:)

OK just saw the "without getting a hit" part.

Let me try this again.

I can only come up with 5. Let me think some more...

Base on balls
Intentional base on balls :))
Fielder's choice
Catcher interference
Wild Pitch on third strike
Error

You forgot hit by pitch as well.

[Shek]

You forgot hit by pitch as well.

I figured that out after the fact - that's why I tried to split off IBB from BB to make six

[Albany Rifles]

Shek got 5 (BB and Intentional BB same thing!!!) and Herodotus got 1

Also would have accepted fielder's obstruction.

So Shek and Herodotus its upp to you guys!

[gunnut]

Fielder's obstruction, that's the one I couldn't quite come up with.

The other one I have question on is the "wild pitch on 3rd strike."

Does it have to be a called 3rd strike or swing-and-miss count as well?

I concede to Shek since he would have figured out HBP anyway, plus I've already asked a question.

Come on Shek, question up!!!!

In the wake of the Superbowl:

Name the four Superbowl MVPs who also have a Heisman Trophy as part of their hardware collection.

Off the top of my head I'm going to guess: Desmond Howard, Marcus Allen (?), Peyton Manning, and I'll guess Roger Staubach.

Manning was second in the Heisman voting his senior season, but the other three are on target.

[Herodotus]

That's pretty good. I almost went with Tony Dorsett, so I'll guess Tony Dorsett instead of Manning.
