	What idiot/idiots selected Steve Garvey and Fernando Valenzuela as more iconic for the Dodgers than Jackie Robinson? Are you effing kidding me?

	Kicking222:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 03:05 GMT	0 points
	First, I agree with Kevin. There are A LOT of odd choices here. Second, there's clearly a Brewer missing. Third, why does typing in "Peavy" not work? Fourth, there are some weird position omissions- for example, why is Biggio only listed as a 2B and not also a C and OF; why is Hal McRae not also listed as a manager? Aside from those gripes, this is a pretty cool quiz.

	Blaise:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 03:21 GMT	-2 points
	Wow, Bowa over Utley, Rollins, Howard, Burrell and maybe Schilling. I would guess Utley passes him very soon as does Rollins and Howard. And Haha at Nick Johnson for the Nats. Adam Dunn is probably creepin up and hes only in his 1st season as a Nat.

	bennyboy44:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 03:21 GMT	3 points
	thanks, I fixed the Peavy problem. ESPN's 4th Brewer was "sausage" or something like that, and I thought it would be better to just exclude it. And with the positions, I did the best known positions for each player (generally). Biggio was a catcher and outfielder yes, but he made his career as a 2B.

	Morbo:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 04:16 GMT	4 points
	@Blaise: And Bowa over Richie Ashburn, Harry Kalas, Chuck Klein and even Grover Cleveland Alexander? At least put some Hall of Famers on the list, ESPN!

	Morbo:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 04:18 GMT	7 points
	@Kevin: Only thing I can figure for the Dodgers is, they consider it only the L.A. Dodgers and not the whole history of the franchise. That'd explain putting in the current Nats' starting lineup over guys like Gary Carter, Andre Dawson and Tim Raines; or John Smoltz (good as he is) over Warren Spahn on the Braves' list.

	schneids:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 04:21 GMT	0 points
	good game. with some errors. but it should be published

	johnlk:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 04:29 GMT	12 points
	How on earth does Lou Gehrig not get on for the Yankees? That's totally insane. There was a really famous movie about him called "Pride of the Yankees"!

	tc22:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 04:29 GMT	2 points
	should accept ichiro

	Elmo:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 04:30 GMT	1 point
	Just "Ichiro" should be accepted.

	johnlk:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 04:33 GMT	4 points
	Also, can Nolan Ryan really be one of the top four icons for three different teams?

	bennyboy44:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 04:37 GMT	2 points
	thanks guy, keep giving me mistakes you find

	jcb9:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 05:34 GMT	-1 points
	Grammar tip: no apostrophe in icons. It's plural, not possessive.

	jcb9:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 05:38 GMT	4 points
	Also, choosing Derek Jeter over Lou Gehrig is inexcusable. Massive fail, ESPN. Massive fail.

	fred_D_pancakes:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 05:55 GMT	6 points
	with absolutely no disresepct to sweet lou, idk about jeter over gehrig being a "massive fail", id just consider it debatable. jeter's been THE FACE of the yanks for more than the past decade and that deserves its due.. and LOLZ @ nick johnson.. after i saw nick johnson's name pop up for randy, i figured the nats list just might be ridiculous enough to have strasburg be the pitcher (tho i typed his name in and was, sadly, pwned by sporcle/espn/chad cordero)

	bsd987:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 06:18 GMT	-4 points
	Biggio was also a catcher.

	sporkling:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 07:37 GMT	1 point
	i feel like the biggest shock of this quiz is the fact that jackie robinson is not listed. Thats a joke right? Hes probably the most iconic player to have ever played next to Babe Ruth

	bbf2:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 07:43 GMT	1 point
	Criticize ESPN's list all you want, but I remember reading it a couple months ago this is a fantastic idea for a quiz. Are you going to do the NBA and NFL Mt. Rushmores too? If not I may jump on one of them.

	bmo1616:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 11:10 GMT	0 points
	As a Red Sox fan, I love David Ortiz and what he's done, and even without the steroids allegations, I still think Jim Rice should be the 4th member of that team.

	deej:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 11:19 GMT	0 points
	great quiz, horrible layout. you need to be able to see the answer box and all the answers in one screen.

	deej:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 11:24 GMT	5 points
	jeter > gehrig = fail

	bennyboy44:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 12:57 GMT	1 point
	yea I'm making the NBA one as we speak. and how could I change the layout to make it all fit??

Cleveland Indians
Pitcher
Outfielder
First Baseman/ Designated Hitter
Second Baseman

	WhiteSox:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 14:20 GMT	5 points
	Billy Beane over Connie Mack? Explain that one to me...

	Camden:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 15:12 GMT	3 points
	I have a problem with no Warren Spahn and no Cy Young.

	dtro:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 15:13 GMT	0 points
	Well Jeter over Gehrig is pretty dumb. In the pecking order of Yankees position players Jeter is at best 5 and Yogi Berra could challenge him for that. Also take into account that for teams that moved it is only people from their current incarnation. Ergo, Connie Mack of the Philadelphia A's does not make the Oakland list.

	csl:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 15:25 GMT	3 points
	I think Jackie Robinson wasn't included because he never played for the Dodgers in Los Angeles. I'm guessing this based on the fact that the Washington Nationals team is only Nationals players, though if they had allowed Expos players clearly there would have been Gary Carter, Tim Raines, and so on. So I don't think it was an intentional exclusion--I think Robinson just wasn't eligible for this list.

	fletchman03:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 16:54 GMT	1 point
	is there any way to change it from 2 columns to more...i hate having to scroll down to see who ive missed, so i gave up...other than that its a great quiz concept

	pancakes188:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 16:54 GMT	-1 points
	Why is there only 3 Brewers? Also, Gil Hodges should definitely be listed as 1B/Manager. Also, to make it fit, set it so that there are more columns.

	Barzuniac:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 17:07 GMT	2 points
	i quit when lou gehrig didn't make it. also when the cubs, a 100+ year franchise with countless HOFers, had a broadcaster listed. ditto the tigers, ditto the 2-time world champion blue jays having a GM listed. typical asinine ESPN crap.

	sox_fan1468927:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 17:11 GMT	2 points
	Rogers Hornsby not on here? Seriously?

Comment below threshold: show it

	Haunter:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 20:23 GMT	1 point
	This list ONLY accounts for players who played for the team in its CURRENT city or form. No Montreal Expos, no New York Giants, no Brooklyn Dodgers. The Dodgers list could otherwise probably include Walter Alston instead of Tommy Lasora, Jackie Robinson instead of Steve Garvey, and Roy Campanella, Duke Snider, Don Drysdale, Don Sutton, or Zach Wheat instead of Fernando. The NY Giants could have chosen among Mel Ott, Carl Hubbell, Christy Mathewson, or John McGraw--every player mentioned is in the Hall of Fame.

	Haunter:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 20:25 GMT	2 points
	Also, great quiz! Hope it gets published.

	bobc:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 03:00 GMT	2 points
	Good call leaving out the Milwaukee sausage thing or whatever it was.

	tk925:	Oct 13th, 2009 at 15:08 GMT	1 point
	I would change Soriano's position. He never played a game at second base for the Nationals -- 158 games, all in left field.

	Theosaurus:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 02:22 GMT	1 point
	@Haunter, Don Sutton actually did play for the LA Dodgers. I think people just associate Fernando Valenzuela with them more than Sutton.

	skiii:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 06:19 GMT	1 point
	111/119 ain't bad... some really difficult ones out there. Look how pathetic the Nationals are.. have to succumb to putting in Chad Cordero as one of their players to represent their team.

	emsee:	Apr 7th, 2010 at 13:43 GMT	1 point
	After the quiz wouldn't accept Hershiser, Drysdale or Sutton for the 2nd Dodgers pitcher, my brain began to melt. I never even thought of Fernandomania. I enjoyed the quiz, though

	aws2594:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 21:28 GMT	0 points
	No Connie Mack for the Athletics. No Jackie Robinson for the Dodgers. No Cy Young for the Red Sox. This list sucks
