Lacochran started us off well by going 5 for 5.

Captain - I didn't make up the questions. Please contact Stump Trivia to create an entire series of Van Lingle Mungo questions.

Hand of Godard - Yes on 1, 3 & 9. I was so happy when I saw the Andy Van Slyke question at trivia night.

Nichole scores an impressive 7 out of 10 including providing the correct answer to #10.

Neena gets the one we were missing, #8.

Between all of you, we would have had a clean sweep. Nice job!
