John Glenn was only the second person to have two ticker tape parades in NYC, when he came back from space while a serving Senator. His first parade was when he was an astronaut decades earlier.

Who is the other person with two parades?

Golfer Bobby Jones, according to Sports Illustrated.com, who must have written this before Glenn's second parade.

In 1930, he became the first and remains the only person to win the U.S. Open, the British Open, the British Amateur and the U.S. Amateur for which he received his second ticker-tape parade. He is the only person to have received two New York ticker-tape parades.

Yep - it's a great barroom trivia question (if you're the sort of person disposed toward barrooms). People will spend hours guessing poiticians, generals, etc. You almost always have to give them clues or you'd be there way past closing time.

It is a very good trivia question. The only problem is having a computer at the bar so you can tap into wonderful AnswerPool to prove your answer.

Interesting sidebar: since our Fantasy Football League meets at a local pub, I am trying to obtain wireless access there, or at least a dial up connection using the owners fax line for real time results. This could blossom into a trivia fest at the bar.

Of course the price of drinks would probably increase say, $10.00 for a "Jack and Ginger"?

Racer, great competiter that you are, I have seen the price of drinks slow you down.

You were always my childhood idol.

Racer, should have been a " never" after "seen." Sorry.,
