	Great quiz, I just didn't do so well on it. I was literally like "WHOOO?" on the Diamondbacks. That third guy was interim, correct?

	Oh, one more thing. Blue Jays didn't work for Cox. I didn't think to just try "Jays". You might want to fix that.

	You need to be consistent about accepting just the team name vs. requiring the city. Also, you need to accept what the team was called when these men were actually managing it... it seems a little absurd to say that "Montreal Expos" is wrong for the team first managed by Gene Mauch.

	this is a great idea for a quiz, but you need to execute it much better. You cant simply 'accept last names' and expect it to accept team names; it wont take any 3 word teams then (eg san diego padres, tampa bay rays, toronto blue jays). You also need to be more historically accurate than simply using today's franchise name: the names listed as managing the rangers or the twins or the nationals never did; they managed the senators, the senators, and the expos. Do some homework, make this accurate, and you've got a very good quiz.

	Thanks for the feedback. I hadn't allowed 'accept last names', but I was a little sloppy in that I wasn't consistent with acceptable answers. I hope that's fixed now. As for accepting historical names, that's a little difficult. It's simple enough for to accept "Expos" or the franchise now known as the Washington Nationals, but it gets dicier with some others. For example, "Orioles" would be acceptable for both the current Baltimore Orioles and the current NY Yankees. "Browns" would be acceptable for both the current St. Louis Cardinals and the current Baltimore Orioles. "Senators" would be acceptable for both the current Minnesota Twins and the current Texas Rangers. Forcing players to answers in order mitigates this a little bit, but still results in correct answers for a team that wasn't your intended answer. What do you think would be best?
