An excerpt from an article in The Athletic on May 27:
But before the smartphone came along, ESPN made this back-and-forth into a game show called “Stump the Schwab,” built around the network’s Sultan of Sports Trivia, Howie Schwab. It aired for four seasons (80 episodes) from 2004 to 2006 and was hosted by Stuart Scott. Each episode had three contestants competing against Schwab.
Incredibly, Schwab posted a 64-16 record during the show’s run. It turned him into a niche superstar in the insular world of sports trivia. Even now, fans will recognize him on the street and attempt to stump him.
“I had one guy walk up to me in Atlanta and ask: ‘Who’s the only player to win the Heisman Trophy and play in a Final Four?’ He freaked out when I answered it,” Schwab said. “It was Terry Baker from Oregon State.”
OK, Schwab, who was the only player to win a World Series and NBA championship?
“Gene Conley, the pitcher,” he quickly answered.
