Alan Rock's Trivia

Q: On March 30, 1867, the U.S. purchased Alaska from Russia. How much per acre was paid?
A: Two cents. Total price - $7.2 million. Today, you couldn't get a good baseball player for that. So basically you'd have to settle for anyone on the Florida Marlins.

Q: March 30, 1964, the TV game show "Jeopardy" debuted on NBC. Who was the first host?
A: Art Fleming hosted 2,500 consecutive daytime shows. The later syndicated version was hosted from 1984 by Alex Trebeck.

Q: March 30, 1993, in "Peanuts," something very special happened to Charlie Brown. What was it?
A: He hit his first home run- and managed somehow not to complain about it.
