Let's play an Ohio trivia game (Cincinnati, Green: population, paid, county)

[South Range Family]

Millions of years ago, before the glaciers changed everything, there was a great river that ran through Ohio from South to North. As the glacier pushed through new rivers were formed, and the flow of water changed from North to South. The Ohio, Scioto, and Mississippi Rivers were a few of the new rivers. The Grat lakes were also formed, and our landscape was changed forever.


What was the name of that ancient river?

Here's a hint....... It's not Lipton, and doesn't come in a bag.


If you answer, tell us how you arrived at that answer. It makes the learning that much more fun. 100th reply woohoo!

It's the Teays River.


And I Googled it. (I know, I'm kind of a cheater )

[South Range Family]

The Teays River is correct. Googling is fine. I think most of us do it. An explanation is just more fun than a one word answer. Unlike Jeopardy, speed does not count here.

I'm an amateur gold prospector. I learned about the Teays River while studying the geology of Ohio. It helps in knowing where to look for gold, rocks, and fossils. That's how I learned that Lake Erie was just a river that is called the Erigan River. Here are two really good links that I Googled.

right,, this should be e-z what was the first pro baseball teaam?

[South Range Family]

I almost forgot. On the one map you can see where the Monongahela and Allegheny form the Ohio River at Pittsburgh. Instead of turning South at the town of Beaver like it does today, the Ohio River continued North up the Beaver River valley and dumped into the Erigan River. That was all part of the Teays River network, and can still be seen today.

Baseball team would be the our Cincinnati Reds, I believe the Red Stockings then. Also first baseball night game and the youngest profesional player. Who, how old and why?

Ohio also has ties to this years Superbowl team, the Indianapolis Colts. Can anyone tell me how?

[htlong]

interstate 70 both run through the states? lol

[rrtechno]

Gene Huey, running backs coach with the Colts, spent three seasons (1988-91) as an assistant at Ohio State.

I'm a big OSU fan and I did not know that one, RR.
This strictly relate to the NFL and relates to Dayton. There was a big write up in Dayton Daily News last Sunday, very interesting.

No one's bitten on the youngest baseball player in the pro's. I thought it would go down fast.

[rrtechno]

"On June 10, 1944, Joe Nuxhall, at 15 years, 10 months, and 11 days, became the youngest player and pitcher in major league history when he pitched 2/3 of an inning for the Cincinnati Reds."

Google is so helpful. This answer came from http://www.funtrivia.com
