Sports Starters (Posted on 2005-04-11) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Many us us have seen the problems which start you out with a number and a sentence with a few words missing, and you have to figure out how the number fits into the sentence. For example, 8 = S on a S S could be answered 8 sides on a stop sign.

Can you figure out all these sports related starter problems? (One disclaimer, anything I've seen on TSN or ESPN counts as a "sport")

5 = S on a H T
5 = P in a F of F P B
5 = C in a P H
5 = S in a M's T M
5 = C R on the O L
5 = P N of the T B
5 = M for a M P in H
5 = L C S of W S C (Y, 1950-)
5 = C of the O S on a P T

the eithth looks like "5=L C S "of the World Series Championship (Year, 1950-)

The champions in 1950 were the Yankies.  They swept the Phillies in 4 games.  The Yanks had 5 runs in game 4.  None of this seems to help with the "5=L C S" 

I wonder if the dash after 1950 indicates the something that has occured since the 1950 game. 

The M's T M made me think of something like Maverick's Team Mascot, but I couldn't find any M named team with a Mascot that had 5 S's of anything.

Cory,

5= P F to F O in C B

seems like an obvious inclusion to your list.
