The Greatest Sports and Social Trivia Question of All Time!
Okay, here's the best question ever, and it will take some work and patience to get it.
You have to have some sports knowledge, but really more awareness of social stuff and current events over the years. Anyway, if you get the whole thing right, we will provide 5 different dinner dates at WOW plus a couple of tickets to a York Revolution Game for the ultimate winner. I will drop hints if needed, but for this group, I don't think that will be needed very often. I also will tell you up front, and again I might be wrong, I don't think these answers are collectively in any one place.
So, here we go with the Greatest Sports and Social Trivia Question of All Time:
Since 1954, there have been only 5 times (Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods cannot be given as answers) where the same people, animals or teams have appeared on the covers of both Sports Illustrated and Time magazines in the same week. Name those 5 people, animals, or teams.
Guess in "fives" rather than one at a time with your answers. I'll let you know what's right and what's not along the way. Good luck, and have fun!
