What is the source for this? And why is Dick McAuliffe on here and not Al Oliver?

"TNBJHBA" stands for "The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract" (published 2001). If the description becomes too long, the end is cut off, hence the abbreviation.

Also, Dick McAuliffe and Al Oliver played different positions, so the former's presence on this quiz and the latter's omission have nothing to do with each other.

@sideways69: Which NON-Hall of Famer are you referring to?

The problem with this is it is so out of date now, the list is from 2001 and we are in 2010, by now several active or recently retired players would dominate this list, like Chipper, Jeter, Sheffield, Walker, Smoltz, Glavine, Kent, Rolen, Vizquel, etc...it would be more interesting if there was a 2010 update.
