49er Trivia - BobK - 09-02-2020
11 days to the first game so here’s some trivia
12 players have had their uniform number Retired. Name them. Bonus their number?
The 49ers started in 1946 in the All America Football Conference. Who was their first draft choice ?
They joined the NFL in 1950. Who was their first NFL draft choice ?
And I have more later
RE: 49er Trivia - Phogge - 09-02-2020
First NFL choice: Leo Nomellini
AAFC: Norm Standlee?
Retired:
8 Steve Young
16 Montana
87 Clark
80 Rice
37 Jim Johnson
39 Hurryan' Hugh
34 Joe Perry
42 Lott
73 Leo the Lion
79 The Geek, St. Clair
Dave Wilcox, guessing #64
12 Brodie
RE: 49er Trivia - BobK - 09-02-2020
11 bingos. But not Wilcox which surprised me. Remember the photo of Title. Well this 49er has a similar photo
Yes Leo the Lion Nomellini
Nope on Standlee. But I just realized a trick question. The first ever draft choice was after the first season
RE: 49er Trivia - Phogge - 09-02-2020
Duh. Finally figured out it was Charlie Krueger.
The AAFC draft choice was either Six Yard Sitko, Doc Blanchard or Glenn Davis. I vaguely remember that both MR. Inside and Mr. Outside were drafted and one of them by the Niners. Blanchard went into the Air Force and never played pro football and Davis played for the Rams after they moved from Cleveland. He attempted a Hollywood career and married a star, maybe Terry Moore?
RE: 49er Trivia - BobK - 09-02-2020
Mr Outside Glenn Davis is correct
Terry Moore how did you get that ? Lol
RE: 49er Trivia - BobK - 09-02-2020
Two 49ers, their first two, were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1969 Who?
Who scored the first ever 49er TD? How?
Still looking for the first 49er NFL draft choice
RE: 49er Trivia - Phogge - 09-02-2020
OK, I think the '46 AAFC pick was Glenn Davis.
First two HOF Niners ... Perry and Nomellini.
RE: 49er Trivia - BobK - 09-02-2020
Here I thought Terry Moore was the first pick lol
Yes Perry and the Lion
RE: 49er Trivia - Phogge - 09-02-2020
Terry Moore was married to Glenn Davis in 1951..... and they divorced in 1952. She was in many pictures including the original Mighty Joe Young and Peyton Place.
Her namesake was an American professional athlete. Any ideas Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbb?
RE: 49er Trivia - BobK - 09-02-2020
St Louis Cardinals. But before my time
Played with Musial and Slaughter. Maybe he got the single that scored Slaughter ftom first in the World Series ??
RE: 49er Trivia - BobK - 09-02-2020
The 49ers first pick as an NFL was Leo Nomellini

I answered the question in my first post. Go back and see Little Sheba.
RE: 49er Trivia - Phogge - 09-03-2020
From 1947-58 the NFL used a lotto system for the first draft pick. Done until all the teams had the “bonus” pick. Who was the Niners pick? What Stanford player was one of the 12?
RE: 49er Trivia - BobK - 09-03-2020
Bobby Garrett Stanford of course
Dicky Moegle or Matt Hazeltine ?
Missed you got Leo as you got so many right
Len Eshmont scored the first TD
RE: 49er Trivia - Phogge - 09-03-2020
Good guesses. It was Harry Babcock of Georgia. Played three undistinguished years. The Browns, probably the greatest team ever over a ten year period, knew that Otto Graham was soon for retirement even though he was still as good as ever. He had no more worlds to conquer. Paul Brown recognized that Garrett was the first of the Post WW2 passers who were going to change football from the single wing punt on third down era to the passing era. Alas Brown had trouble pivoting and Garrett was traded.
RE: 49er Trivia - BobK - 09-03-2020
In 1949 their were 8 teams in the AAFC
The 49ers and Browns joined the NFL as did one other team.
What was the other team. Name the other 5. Two became ?????
RE: 49er Trivia - Phogge - 09-03-2020
The first Baltimore Colts.
RE: 49er Trivia - BobK - 09-03-2020
Colts yes and they lasted only one year.
RE: 49er Trivia - Phogge - 09-03-2020
Other five:
NY Yankees
LA Dons
Miami Seahawks
Chicago team ?
Buffalo Bills or maybe Bisons
And Bobbbbbb who was the Niner coach and what local baseball park was named after him?
RE: 49er Trivia - BobK - 09-03-2020
