Question

Tracy won best actor twice

Van Gogh's best paintings lack in price

Steinbeck wrote of men and mice

Cook discovered the land of ice

Each marvel only makes a slice

Montana won four Super Bowls

Tolkien passed time creating trolls

Einstein theorized the first black hole

Darwin unveiled evolution's goal

Clinton won over Bush and Dole

Significant impacts all can claim

Though antonymous to my name

Without such efforts did I earn fame

Among my peers I've earned acclaim

I feel like the last stanza is the only one that has clues, am I right or wrong?

It took me a while, but I think I have it... good puzzle

Trivial Pursuit

The path I took was to look at each line, significant achievements all, but 'each marvel only makes a slice' got me thinking of the segments of the TP counter. Then, the reference to antonyms told me I was most likely on the correct path, none of the achievements were trivial pursuits, therefore Trivial Pursuit would be a valid antonym
