Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 11 updates in 3 topics

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Aug 21 12:19PM -0500

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-06-04,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
 
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
 
All questions were written by members of What She Said and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
 
 
** Game 3, Round 9 - Canadiana Sports - Briefly Blue Jays
 
Some very noteworthy baseball players have been Blue Jays for
just one season, or even only for part of a season. In each case,
name them.
 
1. Three Molina brothers have been catchers in the majors.
Give the *first name* of the one who played for the Jays in 2006.
 
For the remaining questions, the surname is sufficient.
 
2. In 2012 this shortstop played with the Jays for the last of
his 24 major-league seasons, during which he became the oldest
shortstop in league history. He appeared on the ballot for
election to the Hall of Fame for the first time this year.
 
3. On this year's Hall of Fame ballot was a Blue Jays second baseman
who was a rookie with the 1992 team. He was traded to the Mets
for David Cone, but his career took off during his time with
the Giants, where he was an All-Star 3 times (out of a total
5 over his career).
 
4. The Jays traded with the Detroit Tigers for this 5-time All-Star
pitcher in 2015 to aid their championship hopes.
 
5. This popular slugger, best known for his time with the San Diego
Padres and New York Yankees, had the clinching hit in the Jays'
1992 World Series victory.
 
6. The Jays traded for this player, widely considered to be the
best leadoff hitter of all time, in 1993. He contributed to
their World Series victory that year.
 
7. The Jays acquired this well-known relief pitcher in 1984,
right near the end of his pitching career. He was most famous
as a Yankee. After his pitching career ended, he became a
pitching coach. He has been with the Giants in various roles
since 2000. His nickname is Rags.
 
8. The Jays acquired another knuckleball pitcher in 1987, but
this 5-time All-Star (a pure knuckleballer, unlike his more
diversely-pitching All-Star brother), was a disappointment and
the Jays released him after just 3 starts.
 
9. This Cy Young winner and a World Series MVP with the Twins
finished his career with the Jays in 1996. His nickname was
"Sweet Music".
 
10. The Jays signed this 4-time All-Star outfielder, known for
his time with the Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics, in 1997,
hoping for a return to form. Unfortunately for the team, he did
not make his comeback until he returned to the Rangers in 2000.
 
 
** Game 3, Round 10 - Challenge Round - A Bagel on a Plate Full of Onion Rolls
 
"A bagel on a plate full of onion rolls" is how the title character
in the musical "Funny Girl", which closed on Broadway 51 years ago
this week, describes herself. This show made a young performer from
Brooklyn a star almost overnight. Her name is Barbra Streisand,
and this round is partly about, and partly inspired by, her life
and career.
 
* A. History, or "The Way We Were"
 
A1. Streisand's first TV appearance was on an April 1961 episode
of what program?
 
A2. The June 1967 conflict between Israel and the United Arab
Republic (now Egypt), Jordan, and Syria occurred at the same
time as the filming of "Funny Girl". Production photos
of Streisand and her co-star, Omar Sharif, prompted a
movement in the Egyptian press to revoke his citizenship.
Name that conflict.
 
 
* B. Entertainment, or "People"
 
B1. In 1976 Streisand starred in the third film version of
"A Star is Born". Her co-star was this musician and actor,
known for his outlaw country style and his membership in
the country supergroup the Highwaymen. Name him.
 
B2. In the 75-year history of the Golden Globe Awards, a woman
has been won Best Director exactly once: Barbra Streisand for
"Yentl" in 1984. Similarly, in the 90-year history of the
Academy Awards, only one woman has won for best director,
for the 2009 film "The Hurt Locker". Name her.
 
 
* C. Literature, or "Papa, Can You Hear Me?"
 
C1. Pat Conroy wrote this 1986 novel, and then the screenplay
for the 1991 film adaptation of it, which Streisand directed
and starred in. Name it.
 
C2. Barbra Streisand directed and starred in "Yentl", the story
of an Ashkenazi Jewish girl living in Poland, who dresses
as a boy in order to study Talmudic law. It is based on
a story by which writer, who received the 1978 Nobel Prize
for Literature?
 
 
* D. Science, or "Hello, Gorgeous"
 
D1. Earlier this year, Streisand spoke publicly about how
she had two dogs which were clones of her previous beloved
dog Samantha. What was the first mammal to be cloned using
somatic-cell nuclear transfer, or SCNT?
 
D2. In 2005, Barbra unsuccessfully sued a photographer for
publishing a photo of her Malibu residence. The resulting
publicity led to what term being coined? It refers to the
phenomenon when an attempt to hide or censor a piece of
information has the unintended consequence of publicizing
the information much more widely.
 
 
* E. Sports, or "My Man"
 
E1. Streisand briefly dated a muchyounger tennis star after
his win at Wimbledon in 1992. He said dating her was
"like wearing hot lava". Who?
 
E2. In the mid-1960s Streisand dated this quarterback, most
famous for leading the New York Jets to victory in Super
Bowl III. Name him.
 
 
* F. Miscellaneous, or "Don't Rain on my Parade"
 
F1. At the 1969 Oscars, Barbra and Katharine Hepburn *both* won
the Academy Award for Best Actress in a rare tie. Barbra won
for the movie version of "Funny Girl". Name the movie that
gave Hepburn the tie.
 
F2. Please decode the rot13 only after you have finished with
the previous question. Juvpu uvfgbevpny svther qvq Xngunevar
