Last night's ‘Final Jeopardy' question featured this icy Toronto moment with the Blue Jays
Alex Trebek would've gotten it right.
A 2018 Blue Jays game and the Rogers Centre were the subject of 'Final Jeopardy' on Tuesday's edition of the popular game show.
'Famous Structures' was the category given to the three contestants ahead of the final round, which sees the players wager their money before seeing the question.
Two of the three American players answered correctly. Would you have done better?

'In April 2018, an MLB game was postponed after ice falling from this structure punctured the roof of the Rogers Centre,' host Ken Jennings stated to the players.
Stella! Stella!! Rogers Ctr was the SkyDome, home of the Toronto Blue Jays. What tall structure is very near it? The CN Tower. Stella Trout wins a runaway #Jeopardy game, becoming the new champ. Geoff Barnes leaves as 2nd to the last among 3-gm winners.

The question is a reference to a game against the Kansas City Royals that had to be postponed after chunks of ice from the CN Tower damaged the roof of the Rogers Centre.
Peter Vorissis, a teacher from California, didn't even provide an answer, instead giving a personal shoutout.
The next two contestants, Washington's Geoff Barnes and eventual winner Stella Trout of Houston got the right answer of 'What is the CN Tower?'
'You got to look out for falling ice,' Jennings quipped.
