800 Trivia (Moved from THG page)

[gh]

this thread died out and was replaced by decent trivia (end of thread) that may be getting ignored over here in this ghetto


30,000 pages of documentation perhaps a tad much to wade through?

From that article:

"Serra said Anderson has every intention of proving his innocence in a trial, but would plead no contest to the charges if he could save Bonds and other players the embarrassment of having to testify.

"He'll be damned if he's going to bring down baseball," Serra said outside the courtroom."

ROTFLMAO

OK---complicated trivia question: figure out who played J. Tony Serra in a movie, find out where he was born and tell me what Olympian went to high school in that teeny little burg. I'll even give you a hint: it was Vernal, Utah.

Obviously old news to most on this site but when I was trying to figure this out, I came across this great story:

""See that bar?" he said.

"Jump over it."

Still wearing his basketball uniform, Alma watched a few others go over the bar and then, with no further warmup, ran toward the high jump pit and cleanly cleared the bar.

Timpanogos Roberts went pale.

The bar was set at five feet, eleven and one-half inches.

The school record was six feet two inches.

The world record was six feet seven inches."

Wade Bell? I'm thinking he was from Ogden.

Re: BALCO Defendants Want More Time

Yes indeed. Not sure where he went to high school, but something in me wants to say Bountiful.
