Today we have athletes who went into politics. Tell me who I'm talking about for two points each, and there are two bonus questions.
1. He pitched a perfect game for the Phillies in 1964 and was later a Senator from Kentucky.
2. He played for a New York team when that team won its only two championships and was later a Senator from New Jersey.
3. He represented Buffalo as the Bills’ quarterback in the ‘60s and in Congress in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
4. He was a star defensive player for the Vikings and later served on the Minnesota Supreme Court.
Two-point Conversion 1: The answer to #3 was once his party’s nominee for Vice President. For two points each, name the Presidential candidate on that ticket and give the year.
Two-point Conversion 2: In the 50’s a major professional team temporarily changed its nickname because of the Communist scare at the time. For two points each, name the team and give the temporary nickname.

Today we have athletes who went into politics. Tell me who I'm talking about for two points each, and there are two bonus questions.
1. He pitched a perfect game for the Phillies in 1964 and was later a Senator from Kentucky. - Jim Bunning
2. He played for a New York team when that team won its only two championships and was later a Senator from New Jersey. - Bill Bradley?
3. He represented Buffalo as the Bills’ quarterback in the ‘60s and in Congress in the ‘70s and ‘80s. - Jack Kemp
4. He was a star defensive player for the Vikings and later served on the Minnesota Supreme Court. - Joseph A. Wapner
Two-point Conversion 1: The answer to #3 was once his party’s nominee for Vice President. For two points each, name the Presidential candidate on that ticket and give the year. - Has to be pre-1984, I remember all the losing VP candidates since then. I know he wasn't Carter's VP, but maybe he switched in 1980? I think Ford had Dole in 1976 because I remember it being brought up on the Bored that a Dole or Bush was on the GOP ticket every year from 76-04. '72 seems like it would be too far back.... so I'll say with Jimmy Carter in 1980.
Two-point Conversion 2: In the 50’s a major professional team temporarily changed its nickname because of the Communist scare at the time. For two points each, name the team and give the temporary nickname. - The Cincinnati Reds became the Cincinnati Redlegs

Jim Bunning. I did not know that yesterday was the anniversary of the perfect game. That was a total coincidence.
2. He played for a New York team when that team won its only two championships and was later a Senator from New Jersey.
Bill Bradley, who played for the Knicks when they won their only two NBA titles in '70 and '73.
3. He represented Buffalo as the Bills’ quarterback in the ‘60s and in Congress in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
