This quiz is for the amount of home runs a player had at a specific position. For example, Musial will not be on any list because he split so many games between first base and outfield.

	sandberg, not sanberg. Also Darrell, not Carrell, Evans.

	Where is Eddie Matthews? Considering he had 500+ homers and played all but 200 or so games at 3B, no way is anyone but Schmidt ahead of him. Killebrew played less than 1/2 his games at 1B, no way is he in the top 5 of homers while playing 1B. But you aren't counting total homers for a guy and putting him at one position, because Banks hit more HRs than anyone but A-Rod at SS...but played more games at 1B. I don't think you really know what you were doing here. baseball-reference doesn't break this out by position that I can find,

	Rogers Hornsby, Not Roger Hornsby. Please specify Ken Griffey Jr. - I think we all know, but since his father played, you should be specific. Jr. is generally included in any other quiz he's on.

	thanks for the comments i made the corrections, i just forgot about mathews and you are right about killebrew. I'm counting the amount of homeruns hit at the specific position. Ernie banks only hit 277 home runs at short stop

	If you are counting the HR;s hit at the position, then i like this quiz, but I question your numbers as Piazza broke Fisk's record for HR by a catcher so Fisk should be 2nd, and Kent broke Sandberg's record so Ryno should be 2nd. Also I am amazed that Mike Hampton, Babe Ruth, and Livan Hernandez didn't hit enough HR's as picthers to be in teh top 5, but I'll have to check that.

	Just checked and Fisk 351 HR as a catcher and Bench 327. Sandberg 277 HR as 2B, Hornsby 265, and Biggio 226. Also according to Baseball Reference Ripken has 345 HR as a SS and ARod 344 and Yount is listed with only 122 HR as a SS fewer then Nomar (187), and Larkin (194) just to name a couple. @pita BR does have a HR log for every player that breaks down how many HR they hit at each position, but I don't see anyway to list them by most to fewest so you need to check individual players to compare and contrast

	210 of Evans' 414 HR's came as a 1st baseman, DH, OF or pinch-hitter, which takes him well below Nettles, and probably others.
