Sunday night is the 2023 Academy Awards, hosted by my favorite late-night person, Jimmy Kimmel. The Oscars have had many memorable moments, including the incorrect best picture announcement made the last time Kimmel was the host and last year’s Will Smith slap. One of the more unusual occurrences happened at the 1974 ceremony when Robert Opel streaked across the stage just as David Niven introduced Best Picture presenter Elizabeth Taylor. The ever-charming Niven handled the moment with aplomb and said to the laughing audience, “Isn’t it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?” That year, Niven became the only host to win an Oscar at the award ceremony he was hosting. Now, what does all this have to do with this week’s quiz? I can assure you that the Quizmaster will remain fully clothed, but the questions are all about streaks in baseball. So have fun and learn a lot.
1. Last season, Christopher Morel had the longest hitting streak for the Cubs, while Luis Robert had the longest streak for the White Sox. Whose streak was the longest?
