And You Thought The UCC Was Challenging!

By Tim Zinnecker

Co-lounger Kim Krawiec alerted me to this story in today's edition of The New York Times:  No Casual Fans at World Series of Baseball Trivia.  (Hey Kim -- did you know that your initials -- KK -- represent "two strikeouts" by a pitcher in baseball lingo?)  A related story -- with trivia questions -- can be found here.

I think I'll keep my day job.  The article suggests that I'm not ready for the "big leagues" just yet with my trivial trivia knowledge.

Pictured:  Nolan Ryan (2006 Fleer Greats of the Game #67).  This sounds like the type of trivia question asked at the Trivia Tournament:  name the players who made the last out in each of Ryan's seven no-hitters.  Answer below the fold.

And if that's too challenging, try this:   what are the nine requirements of a "negotiable instrument" under UCC Article 3?

Amos Otis, Norm Cash, Eric Soderholm, Bobby Grich, Dusty Baker, Willie Randolph, and Roberto Alomar.
