For the record when Brodie retired he was 3rd in NFL history in passing yards

Two related topics . . . .
Clayton Kershaw got his 210th win last week, which moved him into second place in wins in Dodgers' history. Who is first? Who was second before being passed by Kershaw?
Kershaw is one of five active pitchers with 200 career wins. Who are the other four? After those five, the two active pitchers with the next most career wins have 144 wins each. Who are they?

Don Sutton is #1 on the Dodgers win list. I don’t know who was #2 before being bumped to #3.
The other members of the Top 5:
Verlander, Scherzer, Wainwright (he joined the group last week) and ?. The 144’s? I would guess a long time guy? Chris Sales?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2023 - BobK - 09-26-2023
I’ll go Drysdale was # 2

You're right, Sutton (233 wins) has the most wins in Dodgers' history.
Yes, you're right again, Verlander (256 wins), Scherzer (214 wins), and Wainwright (200 wins) all have 200 wins, in addition to Kershaw (210 wins). There's one more active player with 200 wins.
Chris Sale is not one of the two active players with 144 wins, but that's a good guess. He has 120.

Yes, Drysdale was #2 in Dodgers' history with 209 wins before Kershaw passed him last week.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2023 - Mick - 09-26-2023
Claude Osteen? Brickyard Kennedy?

Yes, Drysdale was #2 in Dodgers' history with 209 wins before Kershaw passed him last week.
The other active pitcher with 200 wins is Zack Greinke (who is having a rough season with a record of 1-15). No other active pitcher is near 200 wins. Johnny Cueto and Gerrit Cole are next at 144. So, the active leaders in career wins are:
256 Verlander
224 Greinke
214 Scherzer
210 Kershaw
200 Wainwright
144 Cueto
144 Cole

A quick review of the current list yielded the following observation….
Excluding Cole, the odds of seeing another pitcher achieve 200+ wins are rather remote. And, I think it is safe to say that 250+ is definitely beyond the reach of any modern day pitchers. Heck, the only hurler under 30 with more than 80 wins today is Jose Berrios.

Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue?

Like you, I would have guessed a soccer league in a soccer crazy European country, but no, it is not soccer a soccer league.
My next guess would have been something like cricket in India, but the “relative to population” part makes that wrong.

Ok. Country with small population and a very popular sport. How about - Australian rules football or Irish hurling?

Maybe Gaelic Football in Ireland? All-Ireland finals are amazing and Republic of Ireland population (not counting the North) is smaller than the population of the Bay Area.
2nd Guess would be American Baseball solely due to the LONG regular season and repeat attendance over (to say it again) a LOOONG season. /Lefty
