If I'm reading the instructions right, Rose could not be included because he didn't play 50% of his career games at 1B, even if he did play more than 50% of his games at 1B during the 1980's.

Rose actually had a negative WAR in the 80s. I have trouble buying that.

I expected this would be easier. I get the mariner who shares a name with a catcher, but miss the Angels pure hitter. Yeesh.

Man, first basemen sucked in the 80's. Seems like in the last five years you would easily find guys who had much higher WARs (Pujols, Fielder, Howard, Teixeira, etc).
