This isn't a game of whiffle TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is National Grape Popsicle Day.
Today is National Clean Sneakers Appreciation Day. Actually, that's "tennis shoes."
On this day in 1945, history's goofiest traffic jam occurred when 76 Allied ships were in convoy off the Newfoundland coast and one ship struck an iceberg. Within ten minutes 22 ships collided. No one hurt, no vessels sank, but damage was in the millions.
On this day in 1981, when Kansas City’s Amos Otis sent a slow trickler down the third base line, Seattle’s comic infielder Lenny Randle dropped to all-fours and blew the ball foul. The plate umpire wouldn’t have it, and awarded Otis an infield hit.
On this day in 1995, actor Christopher Reeve was left paralyzed after he was thrown from his horse during a jumping event in Charlottesville, Virginia. A leading advocate for spinal cord research, Reeve died at age 52 on October 11, 2004.

I'll go with B. For bees :)
Also, they are clearly sneakers and not tennis shoes!
I'll try C. Those industrious bees!
And it's C! They don't call 'em workers for nuthin'!
Laine, not a bad guess...it does sound like something I would do. Also, what do you wear to play tennis on your feet anyway? ;)
JD, you've got them pegged, all right. Those little buggers are busy!
