The World's Stupidest Question

by user SSreporters

In 1956, after Don Larsen pitched a perfect game in the World Series, he was asked by a reporter, "Is this the best game you've ever pitched?". Now that takes a lot of nuts to come up with THAT one. So in a hypothetical question, how would you respond in a smart-alec way to the reporter?

I would either go to the Lou Pinella/Bobby Knight route by looking at him like he's stupid and saying "What do you think?" in a nasty tone, or go the Mike Ditka route and say "Next question".

I'd say "Practice? Practice? We're talking about Practice"

Nice one, or "Playoffs?! You want to talk about playoffs?!"

I would defer the response to White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.

Reminds me of:

Reporter: So Colin (Montgomerie), what do you think you need to do to win this tournament?

Monty: Take fewer shots to get around the course than everyone else.

Sounds like something Monty would say.

In the reporters defence, you gotta ask it, just so Larson is on record saying it's his best game. However, pulling a Bobby Knight on said reporter is not only acceptable, but is actually encouraged.

*Thinks for about 10-15 seconds*... Uh... let me see, there was that.. no, the perfect game was better than that. I'll tell you later, I really gotta think about this one...

"Well, there was a game near the and of the season. We lost 7-2, I allowed 6 earned, but my fastball was ON that game. So it might be, it might not be."
