Whose idea was it to introduce televised snooker in the UK? Sir David Attenborough! Yes, the naturalist . During the 1960s, he was controller of BBC Two, which had recently introduced colour television. He thought that broadcasting snooker, with its different coloured balls, was a great way to take advantage of this.

One for the other side of the pond: Leicester City was relegated this year after winning the league in 2016. Name the first and only other side to be (eventually) relegated after winning the Premiership.

Second baseman Ron Hunt set what single-season Major League Baseball record while playing for the Montreal Expos in 1971? Hit by pitches but that's only since 1900. Hughie Jennings holds first place, with 51 hit by pitches in 1896. One for the other side of the pond: Leicester City was relegated this year after winning the league in 2016. Name the first and only other side to be (eventually) relegated after winning the Premiership. Blackburn Rovers

One for the other side of the pond: Leicester City was relegated this year after winning the league in 2016. Name the first and only other side to be (eventually) relegated after winning the Premiership. Don't pay attention to soccer.

Name the first and only other side to be (eventually) relegated after winning the Premiership. Blackburn Rovers Correct on both counts! Hughie Jennings does indeed hold the record; however, most records prior to 1900 are not counted due to inconsistencies in the rules and their application. Much of what Jennings would do, such as stepping into the pitch, would not be counted as a HPB in today's MLB. Hunt would indeed often bat with his left arm hanging into the strike zone, but it was rarely called. One of those times was in fact his 50th plunk in 1971...opposing manager Leo Durocher loudly protested, but to no avail.
Brandon Guyer is the most recent king of the plunk, but was a bench player and never played a full season. He was hit 24 times in only 332 at-bats in 2016.

How many points is a rouge worth in Canadian football? And what do you have to do to score it?

And what do you have to do to score it? It's worth one point but the method of scoring it can be a bit complicated. Basically, it's the ball being kicked into the end zone and not returned from it but only under certain circumstances.
