Another Penn State Football Quiz

Posted on August 7, 2006 Written by The Nittany Turkey

OK, for those of you who haven’t responded to The Turkey’s prior quiz about the Paterno Sculpture, there is still time. I have another one for you. Perhaps this one will be easier.

Which Penn State running back who went on to play in the NFL also played Major League baseball?

    PS UNCLE is not only absolutely correct but also in the best Jeopardy tradition, phrased his answer in the form of a question. Congratulations, Uncle, for being the first with the correct response.

    D.J. Dozier was drafted by the Detroit Tigers, but he decided to attend Penn State instead. After his successful career as a Penn State tailback, he played for the NFL Minnesota Vikings for five years. In 1990, during his stint with the Vikes, D.J. was signed as a free agent by the New York Mets organization. He eventually was called up to the Majors in 1992, when he played 25 games for the Mets. At year-end he figured in the trade for Tony Fernandez, and he never played Major League ball again.

    So, here’s an easy follow-up question. We all know that Dozier’s uniform number at Penn State was 42. What was his number with the Mets?

    James is absolutely correct. DJ’s New York Mets pinstripes bore lucky number seven.

    Thanks for taking this nostalgia trip with the Turkey!

Whodat Turkey?

The Nittany Turkey is a retired techno-geek who thinks he knows something about Penn State football and everything else in the world. If there's a topic, we have an opinion on it, and you know what "they" say about opinions! Most of what is posted here involves a heavy dose of hip-shooting conjecture, but unlike some other blogs, we don't represent it as fact. Read More…
