Everyone knows that John Cappelletti is the only Penn State player to win the Heisman Trophy, winning the award in 1973. The Nittany Lions have had 3 runner ups in the Heisman voting. Can you name the three? As a bonus, can you name the 3 players who won the award the year our guys finished second?

Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley was a member of the Philadelphia 76ers from 1983-84 to 1991-92. During those seasons he wore #34 which hangs in the rafters at the Wachovia Center. In Barkleys final year with the team he wore a different number. What was the number and why did he switch over to it???

On April 26, 1997 against the Pittsburgh Penguins I accomplished a feat that set two NHL Playoff records that still stand, Most Shorthanded Goals in One Playoff Game and Most Shorthanded Goals in One Playoff Period. Do you know who I am and how many “shorties” I scored??

Philly Pressbox Trivia – PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

In Philadelphia Phillies, Trivia on June 14, 2013 at 8:11 am

Most people know that Steve Carlton, Robin Roberts and Grover Cleveland Alexander hold all of the Phillies pitching records. However, I’m ranked #3 in games pitched in Phillies history behind #1 Roberts and #2 Carlton. While theirs were mostly starts I only started 18 games, the rest were in relief. You know who I am but might be surprised I pitched in so many games for the Phils. Who I am?

The 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers were considered by many to be the greatest team of all time for many years. Their record was 68-13, went 28-2 at home, and at one point they were 46-2. The team had 5 players with local ties, 2 played at Overbrook High School, 1 of those 2 played at Villanova along with one of his teammates. Another member of the team was a St Joe Hawk and yet another played at Penn State. Can you name these 5 players?
