Okay, I looked it up and I found that Yankee Stadium's electronic scoreboard was installed in 1959, but that in 1908 a Chicago inventor developed an electronic scoreboard and it was tested by the Boston Red Sox and Boston Braves.

Did you just give Xellou66 points? If you did, why would you do that when he just said he looked up the answer?

It's Xeliou66, and yeah he gave me points cause I got the correct source and confirmed what he thought, he said one point for anyone who can get the correct source.

So you got a point just for googling something. I don't like that. It seems just a pat-on-the-head should have sufficed.

You are making a case, kenne, and i am sorry.
IDK if i should issue a one question suspension or try to sweep this thing under the carpet like a good commissioner.
I was unsure of my source, and i couldn't find a second one to verify it.

THIS IS A VERY PRESTIGIOUS CONTEST AND PRIZE WE ARE ALL VYING FOR!!!!
The quiz-master should not go sullying the waters by awarding points to those who just basically did him a favor.
Btw, what is the prize we are vying for?

was he a relief pitcher??? Or a starter that was pulled into the game because of a rocky start by the original starter???
Starting pitchers are always used in relief when the game counts

HairyButtCheeks — 9 years ago(January 07, 2017 02:50 PM)

he was a reliever, and it happened a very long time ago

For the relief pitcher I am going to guess Elroy Face.

Zip Zabel
It was a 19-inning game against the Cubs and the Dodgers on June 17, 1915. Coming in relief in the first inning, Zabel went the rest of the way. His Cubs won the game 4-3. The Dodgers started Jeff Pfeffer on the mound, and he went the entire distance to take the loss. It would all be for not, as both teams went on to watch the Phillies win the National League pennant.

That was the name, Zip Zabel. DAmmit, I was even thinking of Airplane! when I was trying to get the answer, Lt. George Zip.
Guess I should have googled it and got the point.
Your future's all used up.

Wow, that is the hardest trivia question you've done. No one could guess that, it would just be something someone would've heard somewhere to get that answer.
When's the next question coming?

i just did since ppl are on. i judge the difficulty partly on how hard it is to look up. some you can simply google, some are harder to look up.
