	@bradisawesome: No--Runs + RBI would count a HR 2x; by subtracting the HR, it gets counted once. HR aren't counted in the first parenthesis.

	DavidRF:	Mar 17th, 2011 at 19:25 GMT		2 points
	Subtracting the HR at all has always been a point of contention. The intent was to avoid counting a run twice for the same player, but on a team level all runs are double-counted by (R+RBI). Its a bit odd to make a correction for HR-runs and but still double-count non-HR-runs because its being spread to two players. The stat has been around for years, though.

	Awesome, my first published quiz. It turned from white and gray to green all by itself. If anyone's interested, I have some similar quizzes you might like to try: my very first quiz, 2000 games for one franchise (http://www.sporcle.com/games/DJC83/2000_games_team); 400 games started pitching for one franchise (http://www.sporcle.com/games/DJC83/400_gspitch_team); and 2000 hits for one franchise (http://www.sporcle.com/games/DJC83/2000_hits_team). Enjoy!

	i almost killed myself trying to remember wade boggs... and he wasn't even on here

	DJC83:	Mar 17th, 2011 at 21:07 GMT		5 points
	@camly: Sorry, Boggs didn't make the list. He only had 1669 RP for the Red Sox.

	I am less shocked by what I miss over the absence of Rogers Hornsby from the list. I went so far as to add up his runs and RBIs when playing for the Cardinals, then was upset the writer of the quiz dropped the ball with him. Then I remembered....oh yeah... MINUS Home Runs. Crap.

	DJC83:	Mar 17th, 2011 at 21:34 GMT		2 points
	@Pogues: Yep, with 1968 RP for the Cardinals, Hornsby fell just short of making it into the quiz.

	jdprocknow:	Mar 18th, 2011 at 18:39 GMT		1 point
	Why does Chipper's years omit 1994, yet Biggio's (or Anderson or Thomas) does not? He played that year you know and with the Braves.

	DJC83:	Mar 18th, 2011 at 18:47 GMT		4 points
	No, Chipper Jones did not play in the majors in 1994. See here (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jonesch06.shtml)

	jdprocknow:	Mar 18th, 2011 at 18:51 GMT		1 point
	Sorry, I didn't mean to say "play" as in on the field. He was still with the franchise is what I meant and my bad for being unclear.

	bmo1616:	Mar 19th, 2011 at 01:07 GMT		4 points
	Really sad how only 30% of people got Dwight Evans, one of the most underrated players in MLB history.

	Baseball and Sporcle were just made for each other.

	@jdprocknow: I think CJ debuted in 1993, though maybe it was 1992, as a September call up. One of those years he went 1 for 2 (I remember because his avg was .500). Then in spring training of 1994 he was set to platoon in left with Mike Kelly and tore his ACL running out an infield single. Never played a game that year. Started at 3rd base in 1995.

	@jpdench3: If I had known the formula R+RBI-HR was "way too intricate," then yes, I suppose I could have gone with a highly unoriginal and overdone quiz topic like RBIs, runs, or HRs, as you suggested. Thanks for your helpful advice.

	@atreyu565: They're baseball players. Ones with at least 2000 RP for one franchise. The first three you list are actually Hall of Famers. Now you know. And knowledge is power.

	for everyone whining about 'obscure' statistic --PLAY A DIFFERENT GAME. you knew what you were getting, when you hit the play button

	Here's some nit-picky info for all the whiners who want to piss and moan about this great quiz. Ed McKean played for the Cleveland Blues of the American Association in 1887 and 1888, until they changed their name to the Cleveland Spiders when they joined the NL in 1889. Surprised all you geniuses didn't catch that. Great, tough and challenging quiz. Another intelligent way to rank players across eras.

	A lot of OLD old timers on this list, but that's what happens when they spend close to if not all of their career with one team.

	So, I got McKean and Herman Long, but couldn't come up with Garret Anderson. I could see him in my mind - just couldn't remember his name. Same thing with two of the other three I missed: I knew it was the Senators 1B, but couldn't remember Judge (I couldn't get Bobby Veach (the Tiger) out of my mind for some reason). And I can never upchuck Jimmy Ryan's name; I can always remember Geroge Gore and Bill Lange - but not Ryan for some reason. The only player I truly drew a blank on was Slaughter. The others, I knew who it was, but couldn't come up with the name. But I was nowhere close to Slaughter. Completely lost.

	@DaivdRF: Not all runs are counted twice in team stats - some runs score without an RBI.
