Trivial Matters

Pitchers and catchers report this month, so a new baseball season is upon us. It appears the A’s and Giants may have the best two pitching staffs in Baseball, so who knows. It is about time for a Bay Bridge World Series again. Let’s see if we can do it without an earthquake this time.

2. Who was the MVP of the 89 Bay Bridge World Series?
