Trivia Question....

Post by EarlJam » January 22nd, 2010, 12:24 am

....Frank White died in 1938. He was a chef. Without cheating by Googling it or using some other search engine, tell me:

What was believed to be his claim to fame? :-?

Isn't he the guy who appeared on the Cream of Wheat box? I can't remember if he invented cream of wheat, but I'm fairly certain he is the one who appeared on the box.

Is he related (father or uncle) to the Frank White who played major league baseball, was a Yankee announcer and then National League president?

Bingo.

You really knew that without cheating? How does one gain this knowledge?

Yeah, I knew that without cheating. I have no idea how I knew that - it is just one of many many useless facts that I know. Friends used to call me Cliff Claven because I am a repository of completely useless information.
