	Though it was unquestionably a nickname that stuck with him throughout his life (originating from when he played running back at Colorado), Justice White actually hated the name "Whizzer."

	kps7179:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 17:13 GMT		8 points
	Nice use of full names to trip people up. "Whizzer" threw me off as well.

	@jago: See game note about formal names and nicknames used as a decoy.

	99th percentile....as soon as I clicked the wrong answer for "Russell Earl" it hit me, "Bucky!" Doh.

	biglar5:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 17:31 GMT		24 points
	Bucky's middle name is not Earl, it's f**king!

	chriswbennett:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 17:35 GMT		9 points
	"Tony" Kennedy really threw me

	Tony_A:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 17:39 GMT		-1 points
	Hejman, you should have included Michael A. Torrez (Yankee in 1977) underneath Russell Earl Dent.

	Tony_A:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 17:42 GMT		1 point
	I forgot that Pat Dobson pitched for the Yankees later in his career. His claim to fame is being part of the "Big Four" for the 1971 Orioles, the last time a team has had 4 20-game winners (Dave McNally, Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar & Dobson)

	pbrown:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 17:47 GMT		11 points
	I like how there is a Justice with a last name of Frankfurter and a Yankee with a last name of Justice. Good research, Hejman.

	"MATTINGLY! Trim those sideburns!"

	Trying to guess the ones you don't know is like trying to guess which way the USB drive goes in. It's a 50-50 chance that you'll end up getting wrong 80% of the time.

	Pogues:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 18:40 GMT		3 points
	Some really easy Yankees and some really easy Justices. Then there's the majority in the middle that'll drive you bonkers.

	brockstyles:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 18:45 GMT		4 points
	More like yonkers...

	@biglar5: In Boston thought Russell Earl Dent and the third baseman who hit the home run in the 7th game of the ALCS are known as "bleepin" Bucky Dent and Aaron "bleepin" Boone.

	Robert_Lo:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 18:56 GMT		5 points
	Man, as a law student, I thought this would be an easy quiz. Ended up with 16/24...doh.

	chikka2:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 19:22 GMT		3 points
	Very funny, really hard. Thanks for the giggle

	harryfan530:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 20:04 GMT		11 points
	Dave Justice technically is a justice.

	VogonPoet:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 20:16 GMT		4 points
	For ones I didn't know, guessing Yankee if the name sounded more like a judge and Justice if the name sounded more like a baseball player was a fairly successful strategy.

	yanks1020:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 20:35 GMT		2 points
	Nick Swisher announced free agency today so his should no longer say 2009-present.

	soberden:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 20:36 GMT		1 point
	Great quiz. The names of Yankees brought back some wonderful memories of growing up. I love the George Ruth one. You could have added Henry Gehrig, too. I knew the ones on the court which also made it easy for me.

	greg12:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 21:00 GMT		3 points
	Bucky "F***ing" Dent at it again

	Hejman:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 21:03 GMT		5 points
	I'm glad to see that most folks enjoyed this. The idea actually arose as part of a clued treasure hunt that my wife and I put together for the Ohio Bar Association's Board of Governors as a team building exercise last summer. Not surprisingly, they did pretty well on it. Last night I contributed "Vice President or Dallas Cowboy" which is in the Just for Fun category in the user contributed section right now.

	"Tony" Kennedy? Total crap. That's not his name.

	eyhung:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 23:02 GMT		2 points
	John Jay should have been used instead of John Marshall. (There is a currently active baseball player, non-Yankee, who is named Jon Jay.)

	cavaliergirl18:	Nov 9th, 2012 at 23:09 GMT		2 points
	I would have expected the most guessed and least guessed answers to be switched!

	Isn't David Justice "both"?
