rico Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I don't know what it is about me, but I seem to retain useless, meaningless tidbits of information that won't do you a damn bit of good in the real world. My buddy and I riddle each other all the time. TBH, he is better than I(I attribute it to him being two years older). He called me last night just to ask me this........ Who is the only team in MLB history that had 2 sets of siblings playing the infield at the same time? And who were they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though not so much sports trivia but all kinds of useless subjects. Stuff like, who originally had Buddy Hollys' seat on the plane that crashed and killed him the Big Bopper and Richie Valens? Also who played Ritchie Valens in the movie La Bamba? Edited October 8, 2018 by mrflynn03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my Mom and Dad grew up in that era and were Holly fans. The legend I was told is that Waylon Jennings lost a coin clip to Valens for the last seat on the plane. But there is a lot of controversy about the events of that fateful night. Lou Diamond-Phillips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont know what the truth is. But I know this much.....Holly, Big Bopper, and Valens died. Waylon was there at that show as well as Dion and the Belmonts.
