oddball trivia 10/7/2025
๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ Hey, hi, hello, and happy Tuesday! It's your main man combatdavey coming at you Plakata City, f.k.a. Toronto.
Unlike last week, I do not have an edible in my system but it merits mention that this makes my nervous system just as happy.
As a lifelong Blue Jays fan, I am cautiously optimistic about the club's chances in the ALDS up 2-0, but the job isn't done until it's done and I'm guessing the Yankees will have made some adjustments. I'm excited to tune in tonight and see how it all goes.
At any rate, the show must go on.
Today is Tuesday, October 7, 2025, i.e. 10/7/25.
Lower down in this post you will find sports trivia questions about 10s, 7s, 107s, and 1,072. If you instead find an angry minotaur, I hope you're quick-witted and agile because I haven't fed him for weeks.
To make Oddball trivia more user-friendly I have recently started putting the answers in the questions posts (below the questions, natch) so that readers/players don't have to wait or fire up the ol' Google machine.
It looks like this:

BONUS question because I am a Blue Jays fan
โพ This past Sunday, Trey Yesavage broke a Toronto Blue Jays franchise record for strikeouts by a pitcher in a postseason game, finishing with 11. The previous record was eight, accomplished by three different Blue Jays pitchers. Who is the only pitcher of those three to win the Cy Young Award?
Answer
David Price won the Cy Young in 2012 as a member of the Tampa Bay Rays. Dave Stieb and Juan Guzmรกn were the other two Blue Jays pitchers to strike out eight batters in a postseason game.
That's it, that's all, that's everything.
I hope you had fun but if you didn't, compare your situation to that of a hungry minotaur and rejoice. You can go to the corner store and get a microwave burrito but that bastard is stuck in his maze.
He knows what he did.
