@@big8dog887 Nice! I got 8/10...missed the interleague question and the player that had a hit in every opening day game...guess Cobb but should have known it was Teddy. I have to admit though that I knew some of these because of making this video, I actually had a section about Ozzie trying to make Opening Day a national holiday but cut it out because it just didn't fit with the rest of the video very well.
@brutusonbaseball 🤣🤣my knowledge only goes back to the late 70s. The home run question i misunderstood and thought you meant one game. Was wondering where Tuffy Rhodes was lol.
That was going to be a question of mine until I realized there's actually quite a few players that have all hit three home runs on opening day. Apparently it's more common than I thought!
Happy Opening Day! I posted this a couple of days ago, but for some reason, UA-cam wouldn't let it through, so I'll try it again now. You should consider posting trivia questions on the community tab as a way to promote upcoming videos. For example, if you were doing a certain team history you could post: Besides the Chicago Cubs, which MLB team played a full season at Wrigley Field? A) Chicago White Sox B) St. Louis Cardinals C) Los Angeles Angels D) Atlanta Braves Answer: C) The Angels played their first season at the former PCL park known as Wrigley Field. You can learn more in my upcoming video on the history of the Los Angeles Angels, due out this Friday. On weeks where you're doing something that doesn't easily lend itself to trivia questions, you can reach back into the archives. Example: Negro League founder Andrew Foster acquired his nickname by outdueling a Hall of Fame pitcher in an exhibition game. What was his nickname? A) Cy Foster (after Cy Young) B) Rube Foster (after Rube Waddell) C) Chief Foster (after Chief Bender) D) Iron Man Foster (after Iron Man McGinnity) Answer: B) You can learn more about Rube Foster and other Negro League greats in my Top Ten Negro League Players video by clicking this link. (Insert link here). Also, join me this Friday for another baseball card opening. I often find messages in my community section from channels that I don't ever recall watching, so it might be an easy way to expand your audience, without a lot of effort (because you already did the research when you made the video). Something to think about. Enjoy your day.
This is a great idea to have some fun and generate some interest in an upcoming or old video. Love it, will start this up soon! Thanks for sharing the idea!
Count me as excited for another Opening Day! Let me know how you did on this trivia in the comments below :)
Great trivia!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow hard!!
Thanks for trying it out, hopefully you learned something new to challenge your friends now!

I got Seaver, Feller and the Mets with the best record. New sub here - and I enjoyed the quiz!
Nice job, thanks for joining the crew!

Got 6 correct, but three of those were "educated guesses".
Correct: 1, 2, 3 (complete guess), 7, 8 (educated guess), 10 (educated guess)
Nicely done, 6 out of 10 ain't bad for these questions! I think I was most surprised by the Mets winning %
Let's go Padres
Not a bad start...they could have come home with 2 if it wasn't for that darn glove!
