Position players only. Player must have been born in city proper (i.e., no suburbs). *Active. Some of these are really hard. If you need a clue, type "clue (city)" i.e. "clue baltimore"

	I think you have to give more information about each player. I know the hints are there. However, what I was thinking and hoping the quiz would do is provide position and teams. As in "189.2 WAR/OF/BOS, NYY, BSN." That would be a fun quiz. As it is, I didn't even attempt it. I don't want to have to keep asking for hints.

	I thought it was a great quiz. Allowed me to feel knowledgeable by getting several without hints. Also, hints were extremely well written - provided info without completely revealing answer

	Surprised Yogi's WAR is only 56. 18 year career, HOFer, 3x MVP, premium position player at catcher and inarguably one of the top 10 catchers in MLB history.

	@floyd - if there were more fields in which to provide hints I probably would have, but I don't like when there is too much info in one column, it makes the quiz clunky and unwieldy. Besides, most of them have very high WAR, half are Hall of Famers, and with the clues many of them should be very guessable.
