11 Argonauts; Blue Jays; Maple Leafs; Raptors? Toronto sports teams in different sports - the Maple Leafs are the ice hockey team.
14 Palma; Calvià; Eivissa; Manacor? Palma is the biggest city in the Balearics so I guess the others are 2nd 3rd and 4th.

I would guess the quantity of Parthenon Marbles currently held at the Elgin Museum.
13 Francis of Assisi; Joseph of Cupertino; Simon Magus; Teresa of Avila?
Three are saints, and the fourth is a magician mentioned in the Bible. Did they all have stigmata or have visions or fly, or something?

I don't think Booker Award winners... Did they all write screenplays of their own novels?
