Sports Saturday baseball quiz: Please, don’t trade me

On June 15, 1964, the Cubs traded Lou Brock with Jack Spring and Paul Toth to the Cardinals for three players. (Sun-Times)

The trade deadline, which ordinarily is July 31, this season has been moved to Aug. 2 presumably because … I don’t know, I guess because the 31st is on a Sunday and then they needed an extra day because the season started late. Sounds reasonable to me. There’s a good chance that some of the familiar names around Chicago soon will be familiar names elsewhere. It’s one of the realities of sports. I wonder how each of us would feel if being traded were a part of our professional lives. Can you imagine if it were integrated into our personal lives? What would be the demand out there for you? There aren’t that many quizmasters, so I’d like to think the asking price for me in a trade would be pretty high. On the other hand, I don’t even want to think about how little my wife would get in return for me. 

Let’s get started on the quiz and presume we all will be here again next week.
