	Fun but tough! Team names might have made it a bit easier.

	39/53...rough quiz...well done

	Hal_10000:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 20:56 GMT	3 points
	Agreed on the team names. Five minutes is a little too quick as well. Btu a great quiz

	Kicking222:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 21:31 GMT	0 points
	Great, great quiz. I didn't do amazingly well, but it was still a lot of fun. I agree with Hal, though- you should get at seven or eight minutes as opposed to five. Otherwise, though, bravo once again, Ben/Sporcle.

	majorbase2:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 21:45 GMT	5 points
	Definitely a tough quiz. I think that since there's no team names, you should be allowed more time (maybe 7 minutes). Or add team names, and make the quiz 4 minutes.

	Thank God for the Bonds family. Turned my score from awful to mediocre with a single last name.

	Mr_T:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 22:39 GMT	-1 points
	In the 55 years from 1921-1986, only 6 people had accomplished this feat, and together they did it a combined 11 times. In the 21 years since 1987, 26 players did it for a combined 41 times. Hmm... steroids, anyone? By the way, from 1921-1986, 5 of those 11 times were Barry Bond's father (wink, wink).

	Lindsay:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 22:41 GMT	-1 points
	Mr. T - yes, because steroids make you faster and able to steal more bases? I'm not so sure about that.

	weizenugb:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 23:10 GMT	5 points
	Actually steroids can make you faster and able to steal more bases. They strengthen fast-twitch muscles and therefore can help you explode to get a better jump when trying to steal a base. The problem is, guys in MLB go so crazy taking 'roids, they bulk up too much and become too big to run effectively. But early on in their 'roid regimens, guys can actually improve their stealing skills. Just look at Jose Canseco.

	A respectable 44. Some of the ones I missed I should have known (Burks, Gant, probably Green and Mondesi). Some I would have never guessed even if I had a whole day to do this (the obscure Tommy Harper and the more recent but still obscure Preston Wilson and Jose Cruz Jr.).

	guyleguy:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 00:50 GMT	5 points
	Mr T: Bobby Bonds wasn't a roider. Greenies? Sure, but no roids. Also, pre-roid Barry is the one who had all the 30/30 seasons. Post-roid Barry hit 73 HRs and walked 200 times a year.

	SRG: Then why did you go into one of the baseball quizzes?

	Trevor:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 04:09 GMT	2 points
	Sorry, for some reason, some of what I wrote was cut off. I meant to ask, what exactly is a 30/30 baseball player? I didn't mean to criticize the quiz at all. Sorry for the confusion. And for the record, I tried it because I still want to learn about baseball, even though I can't sit through a game.

	Ben:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 05:44 GMT	3 points
	30/30 is a player who hits 30 Home Runs and Steals 30 Bases in One Season

	kthejoker:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 20:58 GMT	3 points
	Besides steroids, we also have much smaller parks and expansion to thank for increased offensive levels.

	this was fun!

	"bobby bonds was alot better player than barry bonds" He was, in 1972.

	Three out of the four 40/40 players have been linked to steroids. Alfonso Soriano must be pretty peeved about that.

	Wow, I never would have guessed Bagwell did this...and twice!
