Here is the question set for qb-sports Rare
Entries for "pivotal Week 8."

Answers are due to
me this week at cdbarker_at_... by July 13, 2000
at 6:00 PM EDT.

If you have any questions or
would like clarification, please feel free to email me
as well.

1). A pro athlete who has released
an album since 1990 (album and athlete)(Note:
athletes who release albums as a part of a group are
acceptable, however, all the members of that group, should
others be named, will be considered to be the same
entry.)
2). An America's Cup winning boat (name and
year)
3). A defunct college football post-season bowl
game.
4). A current MLB/NBA/NFL/NHL stadium or arena that
is named after a person.*
5). A manager of the
New York Yankees since 1973.
6). An NBA player who
has won at least two of the following in his career:
Regular Season MVP, All-Star Game MVP, or Playoff
MVP.
7). A person who has won an NHL award and played NCAA
hockey.

*Since it has been asked and answered in the other
group, I will explain it now: 
Corporate Stadium
names, are they acceptable?
"I, and this is a change
from what I may have stated earlier, believe the
answer here lies in the intent. For example, let's say I
found a company, Barker Widgets, Inc., and I become so
wealthy, I decide to by the Tulsa Night Rangers and build
a stadium for them and name it for their benevolent
owner, and Barker Stadium is born. This is acceptable.
But let's say I also found an airline, Barker Air,
and after I pass on, Barker Air decided to buy the
naming rights to a stadium in Dublin for an NFL
expansion team. This wouldn't work, because even though the
company is named for me, the company, not the owner,
bought the naming rights. It's a gray area, but that's
how I see it."

Hope to see you
playing...
