Consistently Very Good, but Rarely The Best: Atlanta Braves Trivia

For the past 30 years, more often that not, the Braves have fielded one of the best teams in the league. They have conistently appeared in the playoffs but they have rarely won the World Series. For some reason, they usually come up short in the playoffs. However, most teams envy their tremendous success over the last 3 decades. As former NFL Coach Herm Edwards once said, "You play to win the game!". More often than most teams in the past years, the Braves have in fact done just that: they've won games. Are you a Braves fan? Are you doing the Tomahawk Chop in anticipation of this quiz? Here comes the 1st pitch!

Dave is an accomplished economics instructor with over two decades of experience in the prestigious International Baccalaureate program. His students have consistently ranked in the top 10% annually, and one year they achieved the highest overall class average in the world. This outstanding achievement led a UK publisher to request that he write a textbook, an offer he declined in favor of creating sports quizzes, which he found more engaging.

In addition to his teaching career, Dave is also a former high school football coach, having won a couple of local championships. While he wishes he had won more, he continues to be deeply involved in football as a scout, recruiter, and social media creator for a university football team.

Dave's passions extend beyond the classroom and football field. He is an avid fan of live music and international travel, often combining these interests. He has traveled to Spain, England, Iceland, and Chile to see bands perform. His greatest pride and joy is his daughter, who has recently excelled in powerlifting. In just a few years, she has become the Canadian record holder for the bench press in her weight class and finished second overall in the combined national event (bench, deadlift, and squat) in Moose Jaw in March 2024. She will be representing Canada at the World Bench Competition in Austin, Texas, in May 2024.

A die-hard fan of the Las Vegas Raiders, Dave has experienced his share of sports heartache, having seen them play in seven NFL cities with six losses. His all-time favorite athlete is Don Mattingly, reflecting his deep love for sports that spans many arenas.
