	Just in case you were wondering: Ripken had 1589 hits in the 90s and Gwynn hit 1713.

	This quiz just goes to show there are 4 names you should guess on every baseball quiz. Jimmie Foxx, Mell Ott, Rogers Hornsby, and Honus Wagner. At least one shows up every time it seems.

	If Ichiro had played in the big leagues in 2000, he'd have the highest number of hits in any decade. Yet another reason he's going to the hall of fame (though he doesn't even qualify yet).

	this was a lot harder than I thought. 10s, 70s and 2000s were the easiest I thought.

	The answer for the 1990s really surprised me. I was almost certain it would have been Gwynn or Ripken.

	For a challenging quiz regarding the history of home run champs, please check out my "Active HR leaders" by clicking on my screen name. It is a test to see if you know who held the title of "most lifetime HRs by an active player" year by year(s).

	Robin Yount really surprised me. I didn't realize he was that prolific and productive.

	I'm going to be expelled from Milwaukee for missing Robin Yount.
