I remember a South American contestant years ago who was asked about her favorite sport. She said: "Baseball."
The host asked her if she knew who George Steinbrenner was. She got this baffled look on her face, then she said quietly: "Is he a pitcher?"
I think she won, actually. LOL.
It was 1981, and it was Miss Venezuela. In addition to thinking that George Steinbrenner was a pitcher, she also thought Ronald Reagan was the greatest man in the world.
