    2. Who was the starting pitcher for the last game ever played by the Brooklyn Dodgers?
    3. Name the pitcher that started the first regular season game in the inaugural season for the New York Mets.
    4. Who earned his fourth World Series ring as a pitching coach for the 1984 Detroit Tigers?
    5. Name the manager of the San Francisco Giants for the 1989 World Series, aka Earthquake series.
    6. To whom did Bob Brenly give a World Series ring for delivering valuable coaching advice as Brenly managed the Arizona Diamondbacks to a World Series title in 2001?
