This is technically a day late; yesterday was a holiday for me and so I didn’t write a question then. You get it now. Hey, you get what you pay for. Anyway, here goes:
What happened in 1938, 1953, 1962, 1969, 1970, and 1988, and in no other years, and which will not happen again this year?
This question is evil.
It’s a prominent enough thing that I feel pretty good about asking it. Which is to say, it’s well within the bounds of generally-accepted trivia topics.
Since I was a day late in posting it, I’ll drop two hints in one.
Tuesday hint: if it were going to be happen again, it would be happening right now. But it cannot possibly happen this year.
Wednesday hint: three women and two men have done it. Both men, and two of the three women, spoke English as their mother tongue.
Won all Grand Slams in a year?
That’s correct. That’s an actual Grand Slam. Which hint did it for you, Tod? (And you know Dr. Saunders will be very upset with himself for not getting this week’s honors.)
It was the gal/guy thing. And I am going to admit it was a lucky shot in the dark – I still need you to tell me if it’s golf or tennis grand slam.
Tennis. US Open in progress. Don’t know about any majors going on in golf.
The Kentucky Derby isn’t until May…
