	Note: The player need not have played his entire career exclusively for the team in question, he just played the most seasons for that club.

Comment below threshold: show it

	a true baseball fan will learn to spell it :)

	Wow, didn't realize Garrett Anderson had been around that long.

	For the teams that have multiples, you might consider splitting them out. For instance, there'd be two answers for the Diamondbacks, but you'd have to guess them separately.

	@tk : I hear you, but other Sporcle quizzes do it this way so I'm just trying to be consistent. I figure if you can name a player whom no one has spent more seasons on a team than him, then you deserve a right answer.

	man, nobody has gotten the indians' guy yet. Try harder! get it!?

	I was briefly confused because I thought the players played for both teams when there's a slash, i.e. so-and-so played for both the Browns and Orioles. But then, I'm slow in general :) This was great fun.

	Active players should have stars by their names.

	nicklenights:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 12:00 GMT	7 points
	Just to be consistent, you should probably include Milwaukee (and Boston) within the city name for the Braves. Especially since both of the correct answers for the Braves started their careers in Milwaukee.

	Scyphus:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 17:17 GMT	2 points
	As noted above, Brooks Robinson didn't start his career until 1955, a year after the Browns moved to Baltimore, Robin Yount wasn't a Brewer when the Brewers were the Pilots, and Harry Davis (who?) was an Athletic fifty years before they moved to Kansas City. Not to mention Mel Ott, Gonzalez/Rodriguez, etc. So in that regard, the dual team names are a bit confusing. Maybe put the cities in brackets or something. Or Sporcle, add a note when you publish it.

	I've noticed a lot of people have been playing this quiz today - I've written several other baseball quizzes, so be sure to check them out via my profile if you like this one.

	I changed "team" to "franchise," which should satisfy both of the above comments, and i also added "current" if one of the record holders is currently on the team as of the end of 2009.

	@bradwell, I've actually played a lot of quizzes were "Yaz" is not an acceptable alternative to putting in Yastrzemski.

	CitizenSnips:	Nov 26th, 2009 at 16:13 GMT	4 points
	Good quiz, but maybe you should change the title? Doesn't life usually mean either a)someone who spent their whole career with one team or b)someone who spent their whole life in professional baseball.

	deej:	Nov 26th, 2009 at 19:53 GMT	1 point
	@citizen: there is a character limit for titles, so it has to be short and snappy

	damn how could i not get mike schmidt?!

	That was an awesome quiz. So that Cub is always on every baseball list ever made. I hesitated putting him in, but finally though I should give it a go.

	rct:	Mar 22nd, 2010 at 19:13 GMT	3 points
	You might want to change the "(current)" next to the Rangers. The one who is still playing is on the Nats now.

	greasytony:	Dec 9th, 2010 at 06:33 GMT	3 points
	Change "current" after Rays player
