Today’s Mystery Monday trivia question was from 1908, the last year that Eddie’s favorite baseball team, the Chicago Cubs, won the World Series.

Our three questions and answers:

  • who did the Cubs beat in the World Series that year?  The Detroit Tigers
  • who was elected US President three weeks later? William Howard Taft
  • where were the summer Olympics held that year? London

Congratulations to Alex from Fredericktown, who answered correctly and wins the $5 gift certificate to Troyer’s of Apple Valley and the Pier House Coffee Shop!

Our word of the day was juxtapose (JUX-tuh-pose), which is a verb meaning to place or deal with close together for contrasting effect.

Thanks for listening!
