Brewers quiz questions

[logan82]

My family and I are having our annual preseason baseball party this weekend. Exchange of baseball cards(I am giving out Gamel cards, a team photo of the 2008 Huntsville Stars, and a Fielder/Braun bookmark that changes pictures when you turn it amazing the inexpensive cool stuff you can find on Ebay sometimes) cookout and baseball quiz prepared by me. I did a quiz last year so I need a little help with the questions. The people are all more than just casual fans, but not as fanatical as the average BF.net poster. I will give a few examples of questions on Friday when I have more time.

In a nod to my friends still working the scoreboard at Miller Park, you have to ask

 

"What significant event happened April 27, 2004?"

 

edit. should we put up answers too? or keep this fun trivia for people looking at the thread as well?

Nah, let us figure out the answers. Just a sampling of the type of questions I have. A little math, spelling and review from last year.

 

Which MLB stadium got Rick Rolled in 2008?

Spell the first and last name of the Seattle Mariners new GM.

Who hit the game winning HR against the Mets on the last day of the season to put the Brewers in the playoffs?

What are the Brewers top 4 minor league affiliates?

How many teams have a longer playoff drought than the Brewers? Name them and put them in their divisions.

How many teams have a longer playoff drought than the Brewers? Name them and put them in their divisions.

I don't understand this one. Isn't the answer all teams except for the Brewers, Cubs, Dodgers, Phillies, Red Sox, Rays, Angels, and White Sox, since they all made the post-season last year? Or did you mean longer playoff drought than what the Brewers had (26 years) before they made it last year?

[logan82]

Current playoff droughts only. I will reword it. Yes the answer is all the teams that didn't make the playoffs last year.
