These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-09-28,
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 the Bloor St. Irregulars,
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 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 2, Round 7 - Canadiana Sports - Canadian Baseball
1. This Chatham ON native pitched 19 seasons for four teams,
recording 6 consecutive 20-win seasons and winning the 1971
Cy Young Award. He was also the first Canadian inducted into
the Baseball Hall of Fame, in 1991. Name him.
2. This Maple Ridge BC native played 16 seasons for the Expos,
Rockies, and Cardinals. In 1997 he became the first Canadian
to win the MVP, hitting 49 home runs and driving in 130 RBIs.
He won the Lou Marsh award in 1998 and won the Tip O'Neill
award as Canada's best baseball player 9 times in his career.
Name him.
3. The Toronto Blue Jays' first game in franchise history was
on April 7, 1977, at Exhibition Stadium with an attendance of
44,649. They won the game 9-5 with two home runs from Doug Ault.
What team did they beat? (The city will do if there is only
one major-league team in that city; if there's more than one,
the team name is required.)
4. The Montreal Expos played their first game in April 1969.
Their first owner was Charles Bronfman, one of the owners
of this one-time largest distiller of alcoholic beverages
in the world. The company became defunct in 2000, with their
assets being acquired by such behemoths as Coca-Cola and Diageo.
Name the *company*.
5. Name the current general manager of the Toronto Blue Jays -- a
Montreal native who has been with the organization since 2003,
and is the architect behind the deals that brought in 2015
MVP candidate Josh Donaldson and former Cy Young award winners
R.A. Dickey and David Price.
6. The Blue Jays have five Canadians who have played in the
2015 season. Name any one of the five.
7. Two Canadians have won MVP awards in the recent past. In 2006
a Minnesota Twin won the AL award, while in 2010 a Cincinnati
Red won the NL award. Name either player.
8. While Ferguson Jenkins was the first Canadian pitcher to win
the Cy Young award, the second was this closer for the Los
Angeles Dodgers who won the 2003 award and went a perfect
55-for-55 in save opportunities. Name him.
9. Only one Toronto Blue Jay has won the MVP award. He did this
in 1987, hitting 47 home runs and 134 RBIs, but may be most
famous for telling the media that fans could "kiss my big purple
butt" after being booed for a fielding error. Name him.
10. The Toronto Blue Jays won back-to-back World Series in 1992
and 1993, with Joe Carter hitting a dramatic 3-run home run to
win the series in Game 6. One of the runners on base was the
World Series MVP that year -- this Hall of Famer, who played
the majority of his career with the Milwaukee Brewers, amassing
3,319 hits in his 20-year career. Name him.
* Game 2, Round 8 - Arts - Opera Plots
Welcome to the wonderful world of opera! Given the year the opera
premiered, the composer of the music, and some details about the
plot, you name the opera.
1. 1918; Bela Bartok. Judith uses 7 keys to open 7 doors in
the title building to discover gruesome and fascinating sights.
But what's behind that 7th door? Don't answer that; just name
the opera.
2. 1870: Richard Wagner. This second opera of the Ring Cycle sees
Hunding kill Siegmund after the latter's sword is destroyed by
the greedy Wotun. Wotun uses a ring of magic fire to encircle
his daughter Brunnhilde, one of the title characters who take
a famous "ride" in one piece from this opera.
3. 1875; Georges Bizet. There are no barbers in this Seville,
just a cigarette factory worker who seduces the police officer
Don Jose before dumping him for the bullfighter Escamillo.
Don Jose, in a jealous rage, kills her.
4. 1829; Gioachino Rossini. Austrian tyrant Gessler forces the
Swiss people to bow to a hat on a pole, but the title character
is having none of that. As a result, he is sentenced to death
unless he can shoot an apple off his son's head.
5. 1935; George Gershwin. One of the title characters kills the
other's boyfriend Crown, and that latter title character
runs away to New York with the dope peddler Sportin. Life.
That first title character then leaves Catfish Row to find her.
6. 1879; Arthur Sullivan. Frederic agrees to serve with the
title group until his 21st birthday, but trouble ensues when it
is discovered that he was born on February 29. He also falls
in love with Mabel, the daughter of a "modern Major General"
who has "knowledge vegetable, animal, and mineral".
7. 1853: Giuseppe Verdi. Based on Alexandre Dumas fils's novel
"La Dame aux camélias", Alfredo falls in love with the courtesan
Violetta Valéry, despite his father's resistance. Oh yeah,
she's also dying of consumption.
8. 1805; Ludwig Van Beethoven. Florestan has been made a prisoner
of the evil jailer Rocco. But never fear, his wife Leonore
cross-dresses as the title character to save him! This was
Beethoven's only opera.
9. 1904; Giacomo Puccini. Calaf answers three riddles to win the
title Chinese princess's hand in marriage, but in return
challenges her to guess his name. The often-excerpted aria
"Nessun Dorma" is from this opera, which remained unfinished
upon Puccini's death.
10. 1791; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Tamino, the wielder of the title
object, rescues his lover Pamina with the help of the birdcatcher
Papageno and his silver bells. Hide your glasses during the
Act 2 aria "Der Hölle Rache Kocht In Meinem Herzen" when the
Queen of the Night hits an F6.

and thus, it seems reasonable to assume that Wilhelm was his name,
not any of the forms given above, and thus it seems funny to reducing
