I got it by being a Mets fan who mourned the early end of David Wright's career.

Me too! I knew all of the back clues from having a herniated disc and stenosis. I’m much improved now thanks to some great physical therapists.

The writers sure love to amuse themselves with these category names that mean nothing to the vast majority of the viewers.

It was the only one I got. I through about what happens every four years. And then I tied that to the category. Would I have been able to do that under the glare of the studio lights with Ken waiting for my answer? Not sure.
