Sportsball 6-19-18

#1 Post by elwoodblues » Tue Jun 19, 2018 2:06 pm

Today's topic is sports television. These questions are two points each.

1. What weekend sports program began in 1961 and was our primary source for watching Acapulco cliff diving?

2. What is the name of ESPN’s scores and highlights program that has now produced over 50,000 episodes?

3. What iconic primetime sports program debuted on ABC on September 21, 1970?

4. For two points each, name the former Cardinals catcher and the former Yankees shortstop who were announcers together on NBC’s baseball Game of the Week from 1976 to 1982.

The former Cardinal was Joe Garagiola. I believe the former Yankee was Tony Kubek.

He is the "agony of defeat" guy from Wide World Of Sports that shows him crashing in a ski jumping event.

He was the ski jumper who was shown going off the side of the ramp as Jim McKay said, "...and the agony of defeat" in the introduction to Wide World of Sports. I should have known that most of you trivia freaks would know this.
