Source: Baseball Reference
Name the all-time MLB single-season record-holder for each statistical category, the best single-season leader who played after the record-holder, the best leader who played after him, etc.
Example: Mike Marshall holds the single-season record for games pitched with 106 in 1974. The best single-season leader to play after 1974 was Salomon Torres, who pitched 94 games in 2006. And the best single-season leader to play after 2006 is currently Pedro Feliciano, who pitched 92 games in 2010. Every statistical category here will end with the 2010 leader. Data runs from 1876-2010. See first comment for statistical abbreviations and second comment for team abbreviations.

	I was very confused at first, but once I got it I loved this quiz. Great one!

	deej:	May 23rd, 2011 at 15:22 GMT	1 point
	content of the quiz is excellent, but i think it would play more easily if you set it to group like answers.

	DJC83:	May 23rd, 2011 at 23:15 GMT	1 point
	@deej: The trouble is that the number of players in each category varies widely, so I'd have to intermingle batting and pitching stats so as to keep the quiz from looking messy (i.e., keeping the categories with more players together and the ones with fewer players together).

	barterer2002:	May 25th, 2011 at 20:53 GMT	1 point
	Very nice. Loved this one.
