	Name the decade leader in WAR among players who spent at least 50% of their games at the position in question, for that league only. The DH is NOT the leader at DH, but rather the next-best player who did not make a slot at any other position. This quiz may omit multiposition players, or players who spent time in both leagues during the decade in question.

	Team given is the team the player played the most games for in the decade in question (but not necessarily his entire career). for fun, since I had 8 slots left over, I listed the four best position players and pitchers since 1910 who didn't otherwise make the list. This is going off of career totals and completely ignores position, decade and league. Each team has 5 starters (P) and one closer (CL). I didn't bother with relievers before the 50s because there wasn't much going on.

	Lots of fun, and I appreciate all the effort this must have taken. Two remarks: (1) I don't LOVE the idea of listing people at DH who weren't actually DHes. I get it that they are "best hitter who didn't otherwise make the list," but I might like to see them listed as DH/POS (for example DH/1B for Killebrew). (2) This is SO much stuff that it doesn't fit on one page. That actually makes it hard to play; I was continually scrolling up and down for the teams prior to the 1950s. Might you consider splitting it into two parts?

	Five globes for the use of the ! in Ichiro! Also because it's a very well done and surprising quiz in some cases. the Indians were better at getting good pitchers than I ever knew, for instance.

	cvip:	Dec 22nd, 2011 at 15:16 GMT	0 points
	Whew! Great idea, but split 'er up! :)

	deej:	Dec 22nd, 2011 at 15:27 GMT	0 points
	Yeah, it is too long and I hate scrolling too. I wish sporcle would invent some sort of "floating entry box" or something for long quizzes like this. If you can enter up to 300 answers then there should be a way to make it all fit in a single screen. Anyway, I widened it from 4 to 5 columns which should hopefully help. Also, sorry about the "DH" thing, know it isn't perfect, but I wanted there to be an extra slot and I didn't want the columns to be any wider by calling it "util" or anything.

	PS: if you don't already know, you can shrink the size of the quiz by using ctrl+scroll wheel which can help reduce the need to scroll.

	Carlos Beltran got jobbed. He beat out Edmonds, but split time between AL and NL.

	devilsfan15:	Dec 23rd, 2011 at 00:01 GMT	1 point
	Yeah, I lost time scrolling, too. I basically missed almost all of the 10s and 20s because I ran out of time.

	johnlk:	Dec 23rd, 2011 at 01:58 GMT	1 point
	The 70s NL is basically just the Big Red Machine on offense. What an incredible team.
