I BET YOU
DIDN’T KNOW
Brought to you by Ray Huffines
Believe it or not, a big league baseball player once stole first base during a
game...Germany Schaefer of Detroit did it in 1908...After stealing second base, he
tried to confuse the opposing catcher on the next pitch by running back to first...If
successful, the runner on third could score..It worked, as Schaefer ran from second
back to first, slid in safely, and thus, stole first base...The catcher threw to first while
the runner on third scored...That play was legal then, but isn’t today.
Which current big league baseball player has hit the most career home
runs?...Answer is Eddie Murray who started 1996 with 479...No other active player
has hit 400 homers yet.
Here’s an NFL quarterback quiz for you...3 of the top quarterbacks in the NFL-
John Elway of the Broncos, Bret Favre of the Packers and Steve Young of the
49ers were originally with different teams...What were their original teams?...Elway-
-the Colts...Favre-the Falcons...And Young-the Buccaneers.

rotated every 7,500 miles but because of city driving conditions, tires should be
rotated every 5,000-6,000 miles to prevent premature wear. Make an appointment
