	You know who is no where near this list? Vlad Guerro, that guy swings at everything.

	luckily, i have a cheat sheet next to my computer with Kyrgyzstan and Yastrzemski written on it

	@Johntherev He currently is not an active player

	Only one "T" in Mathews.

	me: "dammit, i spelled eddie mathews name wrong.' coworker: "no, they spelled it wrong.'

	ChipTaco:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 18:39 GMT		16 points
	Yeah, there's only the one "t" in Mathews. And was it just me, or did it take "Fox" for Foxx?

	I was surprised not to see any of the runners of the 98 home run race on here. It seemed like pitchers intentionally walked McGwire, Sosa, and Griffey every time they realistically could.

	Thank you for accepting "Yaz"

	Jaws12185:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 18:47 GMT		5 points
	There are two L's in Darrell Evans!!!!

	Chipper Jones will be on this list soon.

	This is a great choice of color scheme because of #1 on this list.

	haha thanks for accepting 'yaz'

	JohnF- I know the point you are trying to make but his steroid use led to his great power and hittling which led to pitchers pitching around him.

	Eddie Mathews is spelled wrong

	guyleguy:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 19:07 GMT		-1 points
	It's a shame more casual baseball fans don't know who the 18th ranked guy is, one of the best to ever play the game but has been obscured by time.

	Mr_Negative:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 19:14 GMT		4 points
	@Long Don Diego I agree with you that he did get pitched around a bit. Bonds still had a pretty good eye though. Steroids can only make you hit the ball harder, not put the ball on the bat. He probably wouldn't have been as high, but still on the list w/o roids.

	Long Don: Most people think Barry started juicing around 1999. You want to know his walk numbers from 1989 to 1998? 93, 93, 107, 127, 126, 74 (strike shortened season), 120, 151, 145, 130. Long before he ever even thought about juicing, Bonds had one of the greatest batting eyes in baseball history and, seeing as he had won three MVPs, was robbed of a 4th and routinely hit 35-45 homers a year, pitchers already feared him quite a bit.

	I sincerely doubt that Barry Bonds is the only one on the list who took performance enhancing drugs - my understanding is that they've been a part of baseball for a long time in one form or another. He's just everyone's favorite whipping boy.

	markymark:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 19:23 GMT		2 points
	I'm assuming an asterisk means that the player is still active based on other quizzes, but nowhere does it say that this is actually the case.

	I love when tongue-in-cheek comments get taken seriously 'round these parts. This is a site to distract from being serious all day...

	Wes_Mantooth:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 19:55 GMT		-4 points
	Should not have accepted "Fox" for Foxx. Did it really accept "Yaz"? If so, it shouldn't have.

	JohnJF:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 20:00 GMT		3 points
	@Guinevere: Being a douchebag helps. Remember how much everybody loved Mark McGwire in 1998? We even named a freaking highway after him in St. Louis.

	kevincrumbs:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 20:03 GMT		6 points
	Wouldn't you not want to walk the all time leader in stolen bases? Really surprised that he's number two.

	giantsfreak830:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 20:12 GMT		5 points
	because he also had a great batting eye and played for freaking ever (always helps). And bonds got pitched around a lot BEFORE any steroid contreversy, the bases loaded intentional pass was before 2000, they were ALWAYS afraid of him, before steroids or after

	give pujols time and he'll easily be on here.

	OldHickory:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 20:18 GMT		-4 points
	I never knew there was an "E" in Rickey's name.

	Guinevere:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 20:23 GMT		4 points
	JohnJF: I recall McGwire getting pretty testy with reporters during the homerun race. People may have loved him, but he wasn't Mr. NiceGuy. I won't dispute that Barry is probably the bigger ass, but I think there are also other reasons McGwire was embraced. It wasn't his personality.

	@Mr. Negative: he hit a ball off the bounce the other day... lol.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 20:25 GMT		5 points
	kevincrumbs, drawing walks is a batting skill, not just a failure (or concession) by the pitcher.

	SentioVenia:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 20:38 GMT		4 points
	@Chris: Nice. You may want to add Krzyzewski, too.

	HollywoodLeo:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 20:38 GMT		6 points
	Why is sarcasm so lost on sporcle users? It seems anytime a great sarcastic comment is made, such as JohnJF's, it's voted down.

	quiztaker:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 20:39 GMT		0 points
	Good Quiz, I'd also like to see one for pitchers.

	HollywoodLeo:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 20:41 GMT		2 points
	@Wes, why shouldn't it accept "Yaz"? The concept of these quizzes is to see if you know the answer to the question, in this case who leads baseball in career walks. It shouldn't have to be a spelling competition. If I'm on Jeopardy and Carl Yazstremski is the answer to the question (question to the answer?) I don't get marked off for not spelling his name right.

	Pleasantly surprised this got published so quickly! I think the admins need to clarify that this is batters, not pitchers, and that asterisk means active
