	Fun but tough! Team names might have made it a bit easier.

	39/53...rough quiz...well done

	Hal_10000:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 16:56 GMT		9 points
	Agreed on the team names. Five minutes is a little too quick as well. Btu a great quiz

	Kicking222:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 17:31 GMT		1 point
	Great, great quiz. I didn't do amazingly well, but it was still a lot of fun. I agree with Hal, though- you should get at seven or eight minutes as opposed to five. Otherwise, though, bravo once again, Ben/Sporcle.

	majorbase2:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 17:45 GMT		6 points
	Definitely a tough quiz. I think that since there's no team names, you should be allowed more time (maybe 7 minutes). Or add team names, and make the quiz 4 minutes.

	Thank God for the Bonds family. Turned my score from awful to mediocre with a single last name.

	Mr_T:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 18:39 GMT		1 point
	In the 55 years from 1921-1986, only 6 people had accomplished this feat, and together they did it a combined 11 times. In the 21 years since 1987, 26 players did it for a combined 41 times. Hmm... steroids, anyone? By the way, from 1921-1986, 5 of those 11 times were Barry Bond's father (wink, wink).

	Actually steroids can make you faster and able to steal more bases. They strengthen fast-twitch muscles and therefore can help you explode to get a better jump when trying to steal a base. The problem is, guys in MLB go so crazy taking 'roids, they bulk up too much and become too big to run effectively. But early on in their 'roid regimens, guys can actually improve their stealing skills. Just look at Jose Canseco.

	A respectable 44. Some of the ones I missed I should have known (Burks, Gant, probably Green and Mondesi). Some I would have never guessed even if I had a whole day to do this (the obscure Tommy Harper and the more recent but still obscure Preston Wilson and Jose Cruz Jr.).

	guyleguy:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 20:50 GMT		9 points
	Mr T: Bobby Bonds wasn't a roider. Greenies? Sure, but no roids. Also, pre-roid Barry is the one who had all the 30/30 seasons. Post-roid Barry hit 73 HRs and walked 200 times a year.

	SRG: Then why did you go into one of the baseball quizzes?

	Trevor:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 00:09 GMT		4 points
	Sorry, for some reason, some of what I wrote was cut off. I meant to ask, what exactly is a 30/30 baseball player? I didn't mean to criticize the quiz at all. Sorry for the confusion. And for the record, I tried it because I still want to learn about baseball, even though I can't sit through a game.

	Ben:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 01:44 GMT		4 points
	30/30 is a player who hits 30 Home Runs and Steals 30 Bases in One Season

	kthejoker:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 16:58 GMT		4 points
	Besides steroids, we also have much smaller parks and expansion to thank for increased offensive levels.

	"bobby bonds was alot better player than barry bonds" He was, in 1972.

	Three out of the four 40/40 players have been linked to steroids. Alfonso Soriano must be pretty peeved about that.

	WarlordBlaze:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 23:29 GMT		4 points
	Needs an update for my boy, Kinsler.

	KosMo_KraMeR:	Dec 9th, 2009 at 13:53 GMT		6 points
	i think one of the reasons you see more 30-30 seasons is that people are WAY MORE focused on these type of stats so they are trying to do that on the field, sometimes not in the most oppotune time....32-29, 28-35, etc these type of seasons are just as good, i'm sure aaron and mays would've had more 30-30 seasons if it was a big deal in their time, mays had a 29-31 and 34-27 season, aaron had a 29-28, 32-24 season, if they wanted they could've gone for some more steals or took a few more homerun cuts...instead, they only stole when they were sure thats why they all have career SB% over 75%.... same thing with triple doubles in basketball, ppl are trying too hard sometimes like staying on the court when game has been decided so they can get that last rebound or assisst, ricky davis even shot at his OWN basket to miss on purpose so he could get his 10th board... griffey never stole that many bases btw

	Ian Kinsler Texas Rangers 2009 31/30

	Just restating everyone else's comments, mainly because they're trie. This quiz would be awesome if there was team names given/ 8-9 minutes. Didn't have much time to think about the one's that weren't obvious.

	cubscardinals:	Jan 31st, 2010 at 12:58 GMT		1 point
	the team names are needed

	qtowndogg:	Feb 19th, 2010 at 14:32 GMT		1 point
	Yeah, WarlordBlaze and kjbopp are right. Ian Kinsler should be added to this list. 31/30 in 2009 with the Rangers.

	Barry Larkin hit 30+ home runs in a year. No, Mr. Selig, there was nothing untoward going on. You're right.

	WarlordBlaze:	Apr 11th, 2010 at 01:31 GMT		1 point
	Kinsler was actually 31/31.

	Can't believe Griffey didn't make this list. I tried his name several times thinking I was spelling it wrong.

	I broke out into applause when Bagwell came up

	Kosmo, another reason 30-30 seasons increased was black players in baseball. More fast-twitch muscle. Black sluggers were more likely to have speed than white sluggers, who were stereotypically slow of foot. Mickey Mantle was sort of an exception who proved the rule, but his leg injuries are probably why he's not on this list; he was blindingly fast. I liked the comment about too many players playing for the numbers; I imagine in the era of agents and complex contracts all those numbers have a money value, either formally (30-30 gets you a bonus) or informally (gives your agent something to argue with.)
