Dawson Street Pub

There's a great little corner bar a few blocks from our house called Dawson Street Pub. The have a very good beer selection with a lot of local stuff on tap, like Victory and Yards(including 3 rotating cask ales). Every year for the all-star game they host a baseball trivia night. This is our second year competing and once again I fell short finishing 4th out of 8 teams which is fairly good considering most team have about 3 people and I'm by myself (Andrea was there for emotional support).

There were some tough questions including several dealing with a player with the most RBIs/HRs/whatever in a given decade. I've always found these difficult since its always a guess, unless some people memorize decade leaderboards. For example, most RBIs in the 90s immediately lead me to think of Juan Gonzalez, but it turns out Albert Belle had about 30 more. Oh well.

Another tough question was to name the top 20 all time in hits. This is easy at first, but you tend to forget certain names (Eddie Collins for example) and assumes others are in the top 20 (Rod Carew) when they are not.

It was fun, but I'll need to brush up some more for next year.
