Trivia team insider

Team Name: Beer Eye for the Caker Guy (the Cakers), submitted by Shannon Semmerling
How the team got its name: It started as a group of 90FM alumni in a team called Splash Goes The Stone.

The team name (the Cakers) is derived from a comedic answer called in during the second year the team played, when comedic answers were more the norm and a finish in the top 300 was considered a major achievement. It's sort of an urban legend. The question was about a baseball poem called "Casey at Bat." The only thing they could think of that would rhyme with "Casey" and "bat" was cake. Somehow, it became our team name.

How many players are on the team: About 35
How long they've played: 15 years
The highest the team has placed: 13th
Their most-prized reference tool: While our reference library has grown quite a bit from the first year, when an outdated Brewers media guide was all we had, it is our internal information, which will yield no Trivia answers whatsoever, that probably gets people most excited.

Team traditions: In commemoration of that first year, the Cakers publish our own media guide. There's also the menu concocted by the man we call Iron Chef Wayne, which this year features grilled salmon with mango chutney and oven-roasted eggplant and tomato rigatoni.

Group attendance of the Trivia movie including a ceremonial shout of "Go Cakers!" A wide array of jerseys and other Caker merchandise. Number retirement ceremonies for people who have played 10 years (players get a patch commemorating the accomplishment and their name engraved on the Caker Stein of Fame). Closing ceremonies, in which a team MVP and a Support Award winner is named. And, of course, Serious Time, held every evening at 8:30 p.m., in which determination is made as to whether or not the team has enough beer and liquor to get us through until the liquor stores reopen in the morning.

High point of your team's career: Every time this group of friends gets together, it is nothing but high points. We love 90FM and the Trivia contest, and we're proud of our showings in recent years, but we truly measure success by the pure joy of seeing one another for this crazy weekend that encourages mayhem, sleeplessness, shouting, dancing and, above all, laughter.

Low point of your team's career: With a team of 35 people, there really is no lull or down time.
