    Where would this team be without Drury?

    Stealing second, third, and home in the same game is an extremely rare feat but stealing for the cycle in the same inning is beyond rare. In fact, it never happened a single time in the decade of the 30's, 40's, 50's 60's or '70's. It did happen twice in the decade of the 1980's , once in 1980 and once in 1984. Both of these occurrences happened against the Reds and both of the players who accomplished the feat have connections to the Reds.

    By some stroke of genius, can you name both of these players who stole second, third, and home in the same inning ?
    Where on earth do you get these questions?

    I think you are probably right. With his injuries this year, just can't seem to get anything going on a consistent basis.

    I looked up the trivia answers. So I won't play this one. All I can say is good luck on anyone guessing. I wouldn't have gotten either in 1,000 guesses.
    I'll give one hint. Neither were known as base stealers.

    Nope

    Truthfully those team balls don’t book for as much as you might think…….

    I got lucky on this one and stumbled upon it at an auction where the auctioneer was clueless.

    $60.00 probably 40 years ago.

    Still, a signed ball with Gehrig's signature. I would have traded any girlfriend I ever had for that ball.

    That's a steal. But it doesn't surprise me that you got it for that 40 years ago.

    I text my buddies 90% of the time and they try to guess your trivia. They do pretty good overall. We are all 70s guys.

    They won't do well on the steal cycle question. That one's absurd. But I have have a more typical one on the way that everyone should do well on.
