Where did you get your numbers? Some of these looked weird, so I looked up a few of them on baseballreference.com. Craig Counsell hasn't even ranked in Def WAR since 2006 (he was 8th). Oswalt is listed as 6th in Pitching WAR for last year. Chipper Jones was 1st in Off WAR...in 1999 (he's never been the overall leader in WAR). Let me know where you got this and I'll re-rate, but until then you get a 1 for this quiz.

Other fairly obvious mistakes include Rick Reuschel (the only time he was 1st in Pitching WAR was 1977), you give Barry Bonds way too many 1st place finishes, Orel Hershiser was first 1987-89 (but not in 1994) and Ryne Sandberg only played 174 of a possible 384 games in 1993-94, so he obviously was nowhere near the top of the league in WAR. This quiz is really bad.

@jeff: It's career WAR. Not single season WAR. Read the game notes carefully before you claim the quiz is "really bad."
