Okay, folks, post a trival question & answer.

Here's one:

Question:  Arlington National Cemetary, within eyesight of the White House, became a cemetary during the Civil War.  What was that land's usage before it became a cemetray?

Answer:  It was the home of General Robert E. Lee.

Question:  In one particular year, teams from the same two cities competed in both the World Series & the Super Bowl, and in each case, the vast underdog won.  Name the year and the teams.

Answer:  1969 -- the "Amazing Mets" beat the Baltimore Orioles, and Joe Namath delivered his "guaranteed" win when his N.Y. Jets beat the Colts.

It doesn't have to be in the Trivial Pursuit game -- any trival is fine.

I remember an interview with Applegate afterwards -- she though Phoenix was being goofy or drunk.
