2. Rennie Stennett went 7-for-7 on September 16, 1975, against the Chicago Cubs. After his seventh hit, a triple, he was lifted from the game for a pinch runner?
3. In Stennett's 7-for-7 game, name the losing pitcher. Also, a native of Washington County (Pa.) played in that game. Who was it?
4. Name the three Pirates players that were part of the World Series championship teams in 1971 and 1979? Stennett played during the regular season in1971 but was not on the World Series roster.

8. Three Rivers Stadium opened July 16, 1970 -- Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates. There were seven future Hall of Famers on the field that night in uniform. Who are the seven?
9. In 1987, because of MLB's system of rotating the first pick between the NL and AL for the MLB amateur draft, the Seattle Mariners held the top pick while the Pirates were second.

Seattle selected Ken Griffey, Jr. Who did the Pirates take with the NO. 2 pick?
10. The Oakland A's used pinch-running specialist Herb Washington in 1974 and part of 1975. Washington stole 31 bases in that time but never played a position. He was replaced in 1975. Who replaced him in the role for the A's?
