Leake was not accepted (only Mike Leake). You omitted Sandy Koufax, Joe Nuxhall and several other players who were not "Bonus Babies". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_baseball_players_who_went_directly_to_the_major_leagues

Pretty sure Ichiro, Dice-K, Hideki Matsui went straight to the majors without ever playing in the minors.

Why not inlcude all Asians and bonus babies. It would make for a more comprehensive quiz. (although the Japanese players aren't included in the wikipedia page above. Which might explain why Park is on the quiz and the others aren't?) Otherwise good job. One other thing. Would you consider putting the year as a hint? It might be of value, especially if you find that many of the unfamiliar names are rarely being guessed.
