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

Took me soo long to get this.  I'm from Canada (not a big thing here, we'd have about 150 fans at our games...), and not a fan of the sport in general, but I racked my head to come up with a variety of sports - just missed this one (I actually thought this was 4).  Just to make sure Im on the right track, of course, the FO is Foul Out?

Your WCS is correct, and the dash is relevant when combined with the initial 5.
