Which former member of the Toronto Blue Jays fractured his leg while celebrating a walk-off gland slam, and missed more than 1 1/2 seasons?
Pearce is, however, the first, (and perhaps only), Major League player to have hit two walk-off grand slam homers in the same week.
Nope.

Wallace received 41 technical fouls in the 2000-01 season. I think Dennis Rodman had 30+ in one of his seasons with the Bulls.
Wallace' record will never be broken, because a 2006 rule change made cumulative game suspensions a consequence of more than 16 techs in one season.
This would be the career record for ejections based on technical fouls. Vern Mikkelsen fouled out of 127 games officially in his ten year career with the Minneapolis Lakers, (1949-50 - 1958-59), but the stat was not officially recorded during his first season.
Similarly, Wilt Chamberlain has no 'official' blocked shots in his career, because the stat wasn't officially kept until the season after he retired, (1973-74).
Wilt never fouled out in 1,045 career regular season games, but he was ejected for technical fouls once, (January 3), in the 1961-62 season. That was his only game that season, (including playoffs), in which Chamberlain did not play every minute.

Correct!
The two players who led Team Canada in Plus/Minus during the 1972 Summit Series, (+6 and +7), also played together on the same NHL team. Name both.
