	This needs some fixes if it ever gets published. The answer(s) for the two teams with ties, Mets and Rockies, don't work properly, because you need to enter the SECOND name, you can't just use either. Also, there is a formatting issue with the answer for the Mariners.

	cedarites:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 06:13 GMT	4 points
	I like this quiz. Try entering the ones with two answers as "Player A and Player B/Player A". Also for the Mariners' one, put "/his lastname" after the final word in the answer, because it won't accept just the last name otherwise. That's probably unclear, but I'm trying not to give the answer away.

	Thanks cedar, I was thinking about how to format it and that seems like the correct way, making sure that it accepts every possible correct answer but still displays both names.

	guyleguy:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 07:48 GMT	2 points
	Fixes have been made, so everything should work now, and I fixed the BB-Ref link at the top.

	Poor Kansas City, still stuck in the 1980s when 36 home runs was a decent number. I couldn't even think of a single reasonable guess for the Royals, as they haven't exactly been known for their power hitters over the last 40 years.

	BigFlax:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 15:34 GMT	4 points
	Albert Belle for the White Sox! Kind of amazing given that they've got some big HR hitters there now and that park has been such a launching pad over the last decade...

	Good comments from guyleguy, that strategy helped improve my quiz as well, where before it would only display one name (I had it set up to take all of the correct answers), but would only display the most prominent. It's MLB Traded Players, if you want to look for it -- I won't advertise with a link here.

	Good quiz! You might like by career RBI leaders by team quiz.

	BTW, I added some nicknames to the accepted names queue, but only the ones I considered big enough to be added. Try some, see if they work!

	pretty good....surprised to see Balboni as the Royals leader

	guyleguy:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 01:26 GMT	1 point
	fletch: I think most people are surprised to see him there. The only recent Royals to make a serious push were Gaetti, Palmer and Dye. Maybe Billy Butler will get it sometime in the future? Hope seems all but lost for Alex Gordon.

	Not to put a damper on things, but the first five guys on the list were all on steroids during those seasons.

	guyleguy:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 03:23 GMT	4 points
	Come now, no need for steroid moralizing in this comment thread. Marvel in what these men did, debate about HOW they did it in the appropriate forums (and believe me, there are 1000s of places which have such debates routinely).

	hmmm....when was alfonso soriano on the nationals??? and btw adam dunn can just get added to that list for the nationals anyway, hes got like close to 50 HRS now anywayz...

	guyleguy:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 04:00 GMT	0 points
	Dunn is doing well this year but it doesn't seem likely he'll catch Fonso. Soriano was on the Nats in 2006 only, but he set the record in his only year there!

	guyleguy:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 20:19 GMT	0 points
	I should add, if anyone wants me to add any nicknames, allow some more lenient spellings, or even add a cool bonus that you think of, just post it in the comments and I'll see what I can do!

	amorris525:	Sep 29th, 2009 at 20:09 GMT	4 points
	what are you smoking, skittlez? Dunn has 39 homers. Soriano was on the nats in 2006.

	guyleguy:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 00:27 GMT	1 point
	amorris, it seems a lot of people have forgotten about Fonso's one year with the Nats, even people who I know are very knowledgeable baseball fans. And yes, Dunn is highly unlikely to beat out Fonso's record, unless he goes on an absolute tear this last week.

	lasordameltdown:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 04:34 GMT	1 point
	Nice quiz, wish I had done better though. I still can't believe Brady Anderson hit 50 homers though. What a fluke!

	MetaphysicalMan:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 17:39 GMT	1 point
	Dunn hits exactly 40 HR every year. He's not a threat.

	Zack_Morris:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 18:10 GMT	1 point
	Those of us around DC when Baseball came back to town will never forget about Soriano's one season with the Nats.

	great quiz

	y2jdilemma:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 09:41 GMT	2 points
	For the Rangers, should it really be accepting "Rod". I mean, he IS a rod, so I get it, but...

	gumbyman:	Dec 13th, 2009 at 02:09 GMT	1 point
	If the quiz is going to accept Jimmie Foxx as the correct answer for the Athletics franchise, then the team column should read Phila/KC/Oak Atheltics instead of just Oakland Athletics. My guesses were limited to Oakland Athletics when I tried to determine that franchise leader because the team column had Oakland as the only city. Jimmmie Foxx, obviously, never played for the A's in Oakland. I thought that this was somewhat misleading.

	If only the Royals had kept Beltran and traded Sweeney. . .
