Cool quiz- I did horribly, but that's not the point, as the idea was excellent. But then, would I ever expect anything less than a super-solid effort from Ben? Of course not.

I'd consider Ball Four a glaring oversight. I would also recommend A Whole New Ballgame by Marvin Miller to any baseball fan.

Ditto Ball Four, and I'll add Paper Lion to the list of oversights, even though I realize you can't include everything.

Simmons made Sporcle. He's big time now.

Andre Agassi's Autobiography brought to you by the Department of Repetition Department.

Disappointing. How can you do a sports author quiz and not include Roger Angell?

I hate Rick Reilly. Glad to see his percentage down pretty far. I'm sure that would crush his nice little ego.

Tragic that Jose Canseco is the most guessed "author" on this quiz. (If you're a film buff AND a sports fan, "Hollywood Jock" by Rob Ryder is HIGHLY recommended.)

The books are not particularly well-chosen and their full titles (including subtitle) should be given. Also, if Jose Canseco is an author then I'm Mr. Universe. Ditch the ghostwritten stuff.

Tough quiz. I kept guessing guys from Around the Horn and PTI.

Paper Lion and Ball Four. I tried Plimpton before I even read a clue
