We had a sports/leisure question that asked, "Who was the first black
major league baseball player."

The answer on the card was something like Haven Moses Walker. I'd like
to know if this was a mistake or not.

My gripe is the following one:

Q: Whose horse was named "Diablo?"
A: Cisco Kid

I thought that Zorro's horse was also Diablo!?

The question about the first black major league baseball player is baiting
you to say "Jackie Robinson".  In fact, blacks were playing major league
ball until excluded sometime in the 1880's or 1890's, so their
answer of Moses Fleetwood Walker might well be right -- check out the
Baseball Encyclopedia to be sure.  (I remember the name only because I just
saw that question last night!)

Another error:  (I think it's in the Baby Boomer set)

"Who is Augie Doggie's daddy?"

Their answer:  "Huckleberry Hound"
Real answer:  "Doggie Daddy"  (Their cartoon was just one segment of The
			Huckleberry Hound Show.  Besides, H.H. was a light
			blue, and A.D. & his D.D. were purple.)
