Sports trivia has become the equivalent of everyday knowledge. If you ask a sports fan, he or she may know more than the common person, but everyone knows certain things about the sports world, like Lakers guard Ervin Johnson’s nickname (Magic), George Herman Ruth’s nickname, and many other small facts in the sports world.
