I got it and I'm a baseball fan but that is a horrible clue.

I got it despite knowing very little about baseball because it's my favorite of all the team names for exactly the reason in the clue.

Something like "This is the name of the king who was ruling at the time of Shakespeare's death".

Not at the taping, but the opponents presumably read the news, and the new champ's cool party story has permanently changed from "I beat a five-time winner on Jeopardy" to "I beat a terminal cancer patient on Jeopardy".

They forgive stuff that doesn't materially change the answer when it's obvious you know what you mean, like mispronouncing a vowel, so wrong verb tense is a gimme. AFAIK the only time you have to be super-precise is when it's the title of a specific work and even then they'll let slide something like forgetting the "the" at the start (especially in round 1).

It was a word question, asking for a specific word. Those are two different words and that was bullshit.

Maybe if he had said American Sniped



Seriously, though, "snipe" and "sniped" are the same word with a different conjugation. If the correct answer had been the noun sniper then he'd have been wrong but it wasn't.
