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

Quite correct - this went through the queue so fast that it had already posted when I saw this error, and to my knowledge, it's too late for me at that point. 

I was going to mention this in a post this morning, along with which have been correctly answered so far, so I guess, here goes:

Submitted answers so far are correct, except the "LCS" and the "Y" in the 8th question.  This is probably the hardest one on there, as the wording is not a "standard" that can be recognized, but the info posted by Bruce poses a very good start, from where a soultion is legitamite.

Charlies suggestion to change the initial "C" to an "N" is correct for the last question.

This just leaves #5, 6, 8 & 9 to be solved.
