I thought grand canal would be an answer when I clicked on this quiz, but I was thinking of the one in Venice so I didn't guess it for china. Learn something new everyday.

While there is a subway station underneath it that is also called Grand Central, it's not the biggest (that would be Times Square) so you are correct.

Yes, I was thinking that the clue for grand slam was pretty obscure (ie localised), and a reference to winning the four major tennis championships in a calendar year would be the obvious clue for that answer.

Agreed. Baseball is a sport with very little presence outside America. I have never seen it on TV in the UK and could barely name you three teams. Tennis is a much more popular sport worldwide, and that clue would make the answer at lot more gettable for those of us who don’t live in America.

I would disagree that baseball has a small presence outside of the USA. Its very popular in Asian countries and in Central America.

But I do see how someone who is not familiar with baseball would think the answer was, Tennis Grand slam.

But anyway I think it should probably be accepted as an alternate answer.

Grand slam in tennis?

Yeah, I think it's a bad decision to define "grand slam" in relation to baseball when there's a much wider definition in a much more popular sport.

Despite the article (which is very inaccurate by the way) baseball is more popular than tennis in many metrics. It may not be more popular in your country, but there are many countries where it is in fact the most popular spectator sport. Furthermore, the total revenue of professional baseball leagues worldwide far outstrips that of tennis.

And sorry to pile on more, but the article you linked is just bad. Even if every single person in India, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Australia, and every other cricketing country was a fan of cricket, that STILL wouldn't be 2.5 billion.

I don't know why you bother responding time and time again to things like this. It's not even like the question was claiming to define the term. My baseball knowledge is almost limited to knowing that there are bases and you can get a home run - from this I deduced it was baseball, so a sport (and had heard of grand slam from tennis and slam dunk from basketball), and had a lucky guess at the correct answer which was pleasing. I live in a country that has relatively little interest in baseball, even if it did I wouldn't follow it as I have almost no interest in any sport. I do however accept that baseball and sport generally is part of general knowledge and a big gap of mine and hence there will be questions on many general knowledge quizes I simply can't answer and on an American site I would expect this often to be about baseball. Also more broadly I have no idea why anyone would complain about this sort of thing on a great quality free of charge website. I just don't get it.
