Bonus question: The Chiefs spent their first three years in the AFL in a different city, under a different name. What was the city, the team name and the star from Stanford who was their leading receiver for their first three years in existence and led the AFL in TD receptions in 1962?

Dallas Texans, Chris Buford.  Original owner Lamar Hunt moved them to KC.  The Chiefs are still owned by the Hunt family.

Steve DeBerg?  It wasn’t a direct trade but he got there eventually if that counts.

That definitely counts, DeBerg is the fifth and final one. Bob Gagliano doesn't count, he went the other way, started at KC, then moved on to SF.

I did but Stoecker was way before my time. My brother was there at the heyday of LAHS  sports -  best football team in Bay Area, maybe the state in ‘68. He graduated in ‘69, the year before the ‘70 Cal State T and F Champs. Led by Chris Adams and the great Rick Brown.  Brown is one of the greatest HS athletes in Calif history.

MLB changed the rule regarding no-hitters that occurred in games that were less than nine innings (due to weather).  At one time those counted as non-no’s.  Now they do not.  Many previous “no-hitters” were wiped off the books.

Multi-no-hitters in same season: Verlander?

RE: Sports trivia thread 2023 - BobK - 07-07-2023

Ryan and Vandermeer are 2

Nope on the rule change. Different rule change so this pitcher now didn’t pitch 2 no hitters
