	Too much time, but good otherwise. I didn't get them all but I wouldn't have gotten them all with all the time in the world.

	Thanks for the positive comments... I've put the time down to 5 minutes (10 seconds for each player seems fair)

	great quiz, but you should change "team record" to "franchise record" - it's a subtle difference but Jimmie Foxx doesn't hold the Oakland A's team record since he never played for Oakland, but he does hold the A's franchise record.

	^I think that's a fair point. 'Franchise record' is more accurate. Perhaps guys who hold team records but not franchise records could be bonus answers. Very good quiz though. Really enjoyed it.

	How to know you're a true Royals fan: Upon seeing this quiz you automatically think to yourself, "Oh God, it's Steve Balboni".

	FelixtheBear:	Apr 22nd, 2010 at 00:42 GMT		2 points
	I might make it clearer when there are two people tied, since you used the same format for one guy who matched his own record (Griffey). I spent a long time trying to figure out who played for the Mets in both 1996 and 2006.

	hooper4:	Apr 22nd, 2010 at 01:08 GMT		-4 points
	Good quiz... with a few exceptions, the list is a who's who of 'roid users from the steroid era. At least Balboni definitely wasn't using the juice :)

	FelixtheBear, I added a note regarding the tied records.

	devourerofsouls:	Apr 22nd, 2010 at 05:21 GMT		3 points
	deej, I changed the main question to reflect franchise leaders

	rmo134:	Apr 26th, 2010 at 17:54 GMT		-4 points
	hooper should be voted up...there are 8 known steroid users on the quiz

	moonshine81:	May 5th, 2010 at 01:14 GMT		-3 points
	got a good quiz for you all http://www.sporcle.com/games/moonshine81/tiebreakerseries can you name the winners of the mlb playoff tie breaker series?

	JohnShade:	May 12th, 2010 at 00:07 GMT		-2 points
	Nope, people on this site instinctively vote down steroid comments. They like to pretend their heroes never cheated. So even though, yes, most of these guys used steroids (Bonds, Sosa, McGwire, B. Anderson, Vaughn, Ortiz, Gonzo, ARod, Glaus, Sheffield and possibly others), the chimps voting on this site will vote down any comment pointing out that these men were shameless cheaters, whose 'accomplishments' are a slap in the face to men such as Roger Maris, who went through hell to legitimately break a hallowed record, and hit those 61.

	The Blue Jays have a new season leader.

	rdc718:	Nov 8th, 2010 at 04:40 GMT		1 point
	i do not think people vote down the steroid responses because they are chimps but rather because they accept it a fact that occured and until mlb doesnt recognize the numbers, sporcle users will...it gets tedious to hear the same thing over and over, kind of like usa centric, etc....not saying i agree what these people did or dont, just saying it is pointless to bring it up...numbers are what they are

	dipset26:	Nov 15th, 2010 at 16:34 GMT		5 points
	blue jays leader is now jose bautista
