	Puerto Rico is not a country

	yankees85:	Apr 23rd, 2010 at 02:48 GMT	10 points
	What are the United SATES??

	MMayes:	Apr 23rd, 2010 at 03:27 GMT	5 points
	Puerto Rico is a part of the United States of America. As midway says, it is not a separate country, even though it gets treated that way in some international sporting competitions.

	Supernuke:	Apr 23rd, 2010 at 09:38 GMT	-1 points
	why are there like 500 less players now then in 2000? Or is it just a more even distribution through a lot of other countries that didn't make the list?

	vizli:	Apr 23rd, 2010 at 12:24 GMT	0 points
	Great Britain should work for England

	Etheridge2:	Apr 23rd, 2010 at 13:11 GMT	2 points
	How is Japan not on here, is there really not 12 Japanese players in the bigs right now?

	alleycat9:	Apr 23rd, 2010 at 16:03 GMT	-1 points
	lots of problems with this one... it does have potential though.

	Lindsay:	Apr 23rd, 2010 at 16:50 GMT	3 points
	@Etheridge2 - According to the source linked, there are only 9 Japanese players right now

	@supernuke: I was confused too, but I figured it out -- it's because the 2010 season has barely started. Once the season's played out more and guys get called up from the minors and the rosters expand in September, a lot more players will have played one game in the majors, so the number will probably be closer to 1000. Like alleycat9 says, this quiz is dreadful right now, but it could be decent.

	Fixed my copy/paste errors and great britain works now. I included PR because is separated in the source, and they do compete separately in international competition.

	The quiz maker said "countries and territories". Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory - it belongs to the United States, but it is not part of the United States. Listing it separately seems totally fine to me. Do you think that Canada, England, and Ireland should be combined in 1910 to make "British Empire"? Ireland and England perhaps should be together as "United Kingdom" in 1910; Canada clearly was a different country, even if it was part of the British Empire, and Puerto Rico today is basically in the same position with respect to the US as Canada was with respect to the UK in 1910.

	There are, in fact, 13 current MLB players born in Japan. The quiz maker neglected to include the 4 Japanese players currently rostered but on the DL in the majors (Koji Uehara, Junichi Tazawa, Daisuke Matsuzaka, and Ryota Igarashi). The source only lists the last season in which players recorded stats, and since all 4 started the season on the disabled list, they have yet to record any stats in 2010. But they are major leaguers nonetheless.

	Still need to fix "United Sates" in the 1930's column.

	uh, hellooooooo there are 30 major league teams now. back in the day there were 16

	sunnyskates8:	Apr 24th, 2010 at 03:11 GMT	1 point
	okay, like many people have previously said, Puerto Rico is not its own country, part of the US. Also, Ireland was part of the UK until 1916 and England was in 1910 and still is part of the UK so you might want to change that as well. One last thing Austria-HUngary had technically broken up by 1930. Fix those things and it is a really good quiz. i like the concept a lot.
