- [Mike] What's up, Cubs fans?
I'm Mike Bolling, and we're here at Wrigley Field in search of the most
knowledgeable Cubs fan in a game called Stretch Your Knowledge.
This is a three-round trivia contest featuring you, Cubs fans,
and our resident Cubs trivia expert/organist,
the one and only, Gary Pressy.
The rules are simple.
Round one consists of a knockout question.
One question of medium difficulty to advance to round two.
You answer correctly, and you're in.
Round two will be a lightning round, and the contestant with the most correct
answers will advance to face our expert, Gary Pressy, in the final round.
Round three is a one-on-one showdown with Gary Pressy, and this question will
feature multiple answers, but you'll need to get them all because
our expert hasn't missed a game at Wrigley Field in over 30 years.
Can Cubs fans take him down? Let's find out.
Round one starts now.
What year were the Wrigley Field lights installed?
- [Woman 1] Had to be in the '80s.
- [Woman 2] I have no idea.
- [Man 1] It was in the '90s, wasn't it?
- [Denise] Oh. Oh, I know this.
- [Man 2] Can I phone a friend?
- I'm going to go with '92.
- That's incorrect.
- 19…2001.
- That is incorrect.
In what year was the Wrigley Field lights installed?
- [William] 1988.
- Bam. Did you know that?
- [Boy] No.
- '88.
- It is '88. - I got it.
- 2006. Easy.
- Okay. First question.
- [Janet] Make it easy.
- In what year were the Wrigley Field lights installed?
- Oh, 1988.
- Wow, bam. Look at that.
You thought you…
- I'm old.
- You thought you weren't going to get it right?
- I'm old. I know these things.
- I feel like you're a Ringer.
- I actually came back here for 1988 so I could go to a night game.
- Really?
- Yeah. The night was rained out. I think that's what happened,
but then we had the game.
We froze our asses off.
- That's amazing.
- In August. I probably shouldn't have said that.
I was cold.
- In what year were the Wrigley Field lights installed?
- [Woman 3] '80…No, '88, '86?
- '88. You had it.
You got it.
You nailed it.
- Where's my Cub money?
- Your Cubs money?
- Yeah.
- Oh, if I was the bank, I'd give it to you.
- Oh, no.
- Do you want to do one more?
- No, no, no. - That's it?
- That's it. - Okay.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you. - That was great.
William, Denise, and Janet advance to round two.
As a reminder, round two is our lightning round, one question with multiple answers,
and the contestant with the most correct answers advances.
All right. Round two.
Name as many Cubs Hall of Famers as you can.
- Oh.
Fergie Jenkins, Ryne Sandberg, Ron Santo, Andre Dawson.
Hopefully Rizzo, Bryant, and Lester.
These are future, right? They count for future ones?
I can't think of any other ones. Lee Smith's not in.
- Lee Smith is in.
- Is he?
- Did you think you were going to get Lee Smith, or you just threw it out?
- No, I just threw it out there.
Just threw it out there.
- Yeah, he was inducted this year.
- Was he?
- Name as many Cubs Hall of Famers as you can.
- Right now? Starting now?
- Like, right now.
- Okay. Banks.
Oh, God.
Why am I only thinking of Ernie Banks.
- He was pretty good.
- I'm sorry. - Just one?
- I'm sorry. - That's okay.
- I still got one, though.
- You did, you did.
- You didn't say how many.
- And you made it to round two.
Name as many Cubs Hall of Famers as you can.
- Oh.
Ryne Sandberg, Billy Williams, Ron Santo, Fergie Jenkins, Ernie, Rogers Hornsby.
Yeah, no, that's all I can think of.
- That's pretty good.
You're definitely going to be the leader in our clubhouse today.
- Okay, good.
- The results from round two are in.
Let's see who's moving on.
So we're here with our three finalists that made it through,
William, Denise, and Janet.
In third place, with one correct answer, was Denise.
- Yay.
- In second place, with five correct answers, was William,
which means our winner is Janet with six correct answers.
- Good job, Janet. - Wow, good for me.
- So, in round three…
- Round three. I'm ready.
- …we will be taking you to the organ to go against our
resident expert, Gary Pressy.
- Yay.
- Yeah, I got him. - You ready?
- I got him. - You think you're going to beat him?
- I got him.
- You sure? - I am.
I'm older than he is.
I'm telling you, age matters.
- All right. Let's do it.
- Okay. Let's do it.
- So you really think you're going to beat him?
- Yeah, no, probably not.
Well, it depends on what the questions are, right?
- I have a suspicion that you're going to do pretty well.
- Okay. Good.
- He hasn't missed a game, I think, here in 33 years.
Does that intimidate you at all?
- Yeah. Pretty much, yeah.
Because every now and again, you know what?
I call in sick.
I got to admit.
- It's time for round three, the final round, a one-on-one showdown
with famed Cubs organist, Gary Pressy.
Let's see if Janet can take down our expert.
All right. We're here at the final round.
We've got Janet, and she's met Gary Pressy, our resident expert.
- [Gary] I don't know about that.
- And this will be our final round question, one question
with multiple answers.
So take it away, Gary.
- Janet, in the 2016 World Series in Game 7, the Cubs had eight players
record an RBI.
Can you name them all?
- The first one was Derrick Fowler.
- Dexter Fowler.
- Dexter Fowler. - We're going to give you that one.
Zobrist.
God, I watched that game over and over again.
- So you got two.
You had to get eight correct, so you did not.
But, you know what?
He wasn't there because it was in Cleveland, so maybe he doesn't know.
- Maybe he doesn't know. We'll have to find out.
- Okay. We'll see.
- All right, Gary. We're ready.
- It's really hard.
- Of course it is.
- All right, Gary.
Game 7 of the World Series, eight Cubs recorded an RBI.
Can you name them all?
- Fowler, Ross, Zobrist, Russell.
That's all I'm going to say.
- That's four. - I was going to say he got more.
I forgot about Ross.
- Yeah, [inaudible].
- That was a big one. - That was a big one, yeah.
- How many did she get? - It was a big swing.
- I only got two. - She got two.
- But we both got Fowler first because that was like…
- It was the leadoff home run.
- Yeah. It was like, "Yeah, this is going to be a good game."
Yeah.
- So, Gary, you're the winner.
The expert wins.
- No, she's the winner.
- But you're the real winner, Janet.
- So I get to play the organ for the day and...
- There you go. - ...you get the day off.
- There you go.
- That's the win.
- That's the way to do it.
- No, this was my pleasure.
- Well, thank you for… - It was such a joy.
- Oh, thank you very much.
- Thank you. Thank you, guys.
- I want to say a big thanks to Janet.
She did her best, she came through, and she had a great day.
