Given the Milwaukee clue, correctamundo might have been appropriate. It sounds like something The Fonz would cay, in a Happy Days episode.

answer: Argonaut, Zenon Andrusyshyn- in a game against the Eskimos, his punt took an "Argo Bounce", after hitting the ground, the ball bounce approx. 20 yards before being touched by the returner. The ball travelled 108 yards in total.
The record has since been equalled by Chris Milos of Sask. RRs
Correct!
Minnie Miñoso had 16 at bats for the Cleveland Indians in 1949, and played for three other Major League teams through 1963, including three separate stints with the Chicago White Sox. He made pinch hitting appearances in 1976 and 1980.
According to Wikipedia, Nick Altrock also achieved this feat, in a career that began in 1898, and ended with a pinch hitting appearance in 1933 at age 57.
Since 1983, a meter has been defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. How was the length of a meter originally calculated?
Does expert/colour commentator count?
If so, I'll say Nancy Greene or some skater.
Defensive pass interference. Mel was so big and so fast that he was able to overpower most wide receivers. The league eventually instituted the pass interference rule because Mel had such an unfair advantage.
They mixed it with gunpowder. If the alcohol was diluted, the gunpowder would not ignite.
The French Revolutionaries (1789) defined the new standard metre as one ten-millionth of the distance from the north pole to the equator, on the line of longitude passing through Paris.
This is close enough to be considered correct!
The length of a meter was originally calculated as one ten-millionth of the distance from the north pole to the equator, at sea level, so that distance would be 10, 000 kilometers, and the circumference of the Earth would be 40,000 kilometers, if it was perfectly spherical.
Unfortunately, this measurement is marginally off, (the circumference of Earth is about 40,007 km), and Earth is a spheroid, slightly wider at the equator.
