The Batter's Box Trivia Challenge works very simply. A question is asked; the first person to get the correct answer (once the original questioner confirms the correct answer) then gets to ask the next question.
The honour system is in effect. That means NO looking the answer up via any internet sources, and you are asked on your honour to abide by that. The extensive use of skull sweat and old-fashioned paper books, I'll allow.
On to the opening question...
What kind of tree bark did Hall of Fame spitballer Burleigh Grimes chew in order to get his saliva nice and slippery?
