	Let me know if you see any corrections that need to be made on stats/notable teams/player names etc. Thanks!

	hayudi:	May 19th, 2012 at 13:55 GMT		6 points
	you should list all the teams they were on, not just the notable ones

	palmeiro has been elgible for a couple of years now, his first name is also spelt with an f, martinez & mcgwire are also already eligible for the hall

	Giggity1:	May 19th, 2012 at 16:38 GMT		2 points
	Jeff Bagwell and Larry Walker are eligible.

	You might want to indicate that this is position players only. I spent some time trying pitchers until I figure out they weren't included.

	would have loved to see it expanded to include pitchers. maybe raise the cutoff a little to 55 or 60 WAR if you don't want the number of answers to be too high? nice quiz though. http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/WAR_pitch_career.shtml

	Since when is there a team called "Dead Ball Era"?

	mflournoy:	May 20th, 2012 at 00:07 GMT		2 points
	I'd like to see the Phillies and Expos listed among the notable teams for Rolen and Walker, respectively.

	At the risk of nitpicking, it should be Ken Griffey, Jr. since his father did play for many years, and also played for both the Mariners and Reds, though Seattle certainly wouldn't be a notable team for Griffey, Sr.

	A lot of fun as well.

	Good idea for a quiz but the teams thing is kind of irritating. Either list all teams, or their main team, but be consistent, and definitely drop the "dead ball era" - they had teams back then too, tell us what they were.

	well the prblem with the dead ball teams is they were ridiculous and i didn't think they would be any more helpful than just saying dead ball era. Also, the teams thing is a personal thing as i usually get thrown off by the random teams players are on...so I generally limited it to teams they played on for at least 3 years, and I obv screwed some of them up- like ROlen and Walker. Done and done.

	I actually think it's a good idea to not include pitchers. Otherwise the list would include a bunch of nineteenth-century pitchers, whose WAR scores are inflated because they played in almost every game.

	If you're going to use the 'Dead Ball Era' approach at all, you have to be consistent and include Joe Jackson as well. Though you should probably just list teams for all of them and in that case, Jackson's should say 'Indians, White Sox'.

	I can see why the HOF wouldn't want Jack G. in

	awesome quiz! but why hate on the padres. Nettles and Piazza both played in San Diego as well. Pete rose played for the phillies and expos. Dandolph played for pirates, dodgers, As, brewers, mets. Andruw jones played for several teams (infact he is a Yankee right now). Just putting the notable teams can be deceiving.
