I know it's pretty uneven now but I wasn't sure how to divide the outfield because players who played at all 3 positions would be at a diasdvantage. Should I got with only 10 outfielders? Any suggestions on something instead of total games played?

Definitely needs more time. I'd say give it the full 20 minutes. outfield can be split by recoding the position variable as OF(1) OF(2) and OF(3) for example, and make it clear in the byline that all OFs are grouped together. Otherwise, awesome idea of a quiz.

Ah, thanks. That's one of those like Dwyane Wade I never noticed for some reason.

Also you list games played regardless of position, for example Jim Thome may have played 1368 games in the decade but he didn't play them all at 1B, he was a DH for much of his time with the White Sox and Indians in the decade.

Etheridge2, I think Thome played more than half of his games at 1B, though. See the rules at the top. I do think that this quiz would be even better if it counted only games played at the particular position, however (rather than counting many DH games as though they were played at 1B, for example).

I think you should do it by games played at the position. Alfonso Soriano, for example, played a lot at 2B and a lot in the OF but probably doesn't crack the top 10 of either (possibly top 30 in outfield, he's been there since WAS in 2006). Similarly Jim Thome might crack top 5 at DH but his time in Philly in the early 2000s wouldn't crack top 5 at 1B.
