 Another sports related quiz.

Which of these crazy facts is (are) untrue - if any? 

1.  From 1997 to 2013, Tiger Woods was a combined 126 strokes under par in all major championships.

2.  From 1997 to 2013, the best record of any golfer besides Tiger Woods,  playing all major championships, was 125 over par.

3.  A man named Larry Lewis ran the 100 yard dash in 17.8 seconds at the age of 101.

4.  Major league baseball umpires are required to wear black underwear.

5.  Recently, a person paid $10.1 million for a game-worn Michael Jorden jersey from the 1998 playoffs.

6.  Bo Jackson and Jim Brown are basically tied for best yards-per-carry average for NFL players with over 500 carries.  

7.  Pete Rose made more outs as a batter than any other player in Major League Baseball history.

8.  Babe Ruth still holds the record for most extra base hits in one season at 119.

9.  Oscar Robertson had 181 triple doubles in his NBA career.  The nearest to him is Magic Johnson with  138.  That's double digits in points, rebounds and assists in one game.  

10.  Pat Lysaght coached youth baseball, softball, soccer, basketball and football.  He played basketball into his 50's and softball into his 70's.  Now he's a very unprofessional golfer.  

Let me know what you think.
