Coin toss in baseball?
A rare event, but it happens. First you have to make the playoffs. Then you have to have a game three in a three game series. That's why no umpire carries a coin!
Did the Confederacy issue coins during the War of Northern Aggression???
Yes and no. During the war, 3 of the 5 US mints were in the South. The CSA took them over and kept making US coins, keeping them for their own use.
There were 4 CSA Silver Half Dollars made (yes, 4. Not 4 types or 4 designs, 4 coins). Even if I had one, I don't think I would use it for a high school coin toss. The last one that sold went for $881,000. There were also 12 CSA one cent coins made by a jeweler in Philadelphia, but they were never delivered to the CSA. Those are relatively cheap, one selling for $141,000.
Will the Cubbies win 4 in a row?
While I hope so, I'm not counting on it. There is more of a chance of me lending one of those CSA Half Dollars to this week's white hat for the coin toss.
Will it be a Patriot/Falcon Super Bowl???
If so, Dan Quinn would EASILY be Coach of the Year, given that we won 10 games total in the last two years.
