| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Feb 08 04:46PM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on the dates indicated below, and should be interpreted accordingly. If any answers have changed due to newer news, you are still expected to give the answers that were correct on that date. 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 in a single followup to the newsgroup, 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 the Cellar Rats and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting of other rounds.

The Cellar Rats decided to cancel the game outright, so that left them with an unused current-events round, which they have allowed me to present here. (This also means that Game 9 will be the last game of the regular season.) 1. This man who played for 12 years with the Blue Jays, and died at age 40 in a plane crash, was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this week. Who was he? 2.

Which Omaha First Nations elder (whose name should be familiar to Torontonians) was involved in a highly publicized incident with a Covington Catholic high school student in Washington DC? 8. Venezuela has erupted into state of a near civil war. The leader of the opposition is claiming to be the rightful leader due to what his side calls an illegitimate election. What is his name? 9. Which long-time Trump associate and supporter was arrested this week at his Florida home at gunpoint at 6 AM? 10. Within 1 day, for how many days was the American government shut down? * Game 2 (2019-02-04), Round 1 - Current Events 1.
