Final Jeopardy! category: THE 500-HOMER CLUB
Final Jeopardy! clue: Often injured, he is the only member who played in fewer than 2,000 games in his career
Who was Mark McGwire?
This was an INTENSE game! Earl held the lead going into Final as a result of four rebounds in this game. In fact, every single time Earl had the opportunity to rebound one of his opponent’s negs, he did! That’s why he’s been on such a long run! Meanwhile, a Final very worthy of Sports Jeopardy! (and betting strategy) determined this week’s victor! (For the record: I got this one playing at home, but I only answered it as my best guess for lack of anthing better.)
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
