Grandstand (game show with football motif—I wanna say every correct answer gained a duo 10 yards)

Pro-Fan (1977 game show hosted by Charlie Jones)—famous athletes and civilians worked together in competition with another like-minded duo, combining Q&A sports trivia with athletic stunts

It’s a Hit (1950s game show for kids)—baseball themed Q&A (correct answers resulted in a single, double, etc)

[VERY obscure, because it only ran locally in Miami in 1962] Hole in One, hosted by Jack Barry: a word game that gave contestants a shot at a jackpot, via a golf-themed arcade machine (OHHHH how I would love to see a clip—one of the first shows I ever watched)

Clubhouse from 2004 was about a New York Empires baseball team, starred Jeremy Sumpter and had some big names like Christopher Lloyd and Dean Cain. But it was a flop airing Tuesdays at 9:00 after NCIS, which was just in its 2nd season at that point. NBC was the weakest they had been in a long time with animated Father of the Pride replacing Frasier, but Clubhouse still couldn't take advantage. It was cancelled after 5 episodes with 6 burnoff episodes airing the next summer.
