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

#8 solution maybe? | Comment 20 of 28 |
5 = Longest Consecutive String of World Series Championships (Yankees)???

The Yankees did win 5 World Series in a row, more than any other team was done, but that was from 1949-1953, not from 1950-1954. Still though, that fits pretty well, doesn't it? Cory, did you just miss the years? If the years are right, and I'm wrong, then I completely give up.

And yeah, I think "P N of the T B" as well as "C of the O S on a P T" (or "N on the O S on a P T" as corrected) both still need to be solved. I've pretty much given up on those, but how bout a hint? eh? eh?
