	That was really fun - very cool idea, and well-executed. Would love to see more of these for other stats.

	cvip:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 12:15 GMT	13 points
	Well done! Awaiting the next one!

	MSUKent:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 01:52 GMT	13 points
	Fun game - though my answer average more like Ozzie Smith than Tony Gwynn.

	azoeller:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 02:16 GMT	6 points
	nice quiz, fun

	swv1811:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 03:01 GMT	4 points
	Good quiz. I think a little more time would help though

	notaratface:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 03:47 GMT	0 points
	Yes, more time wouldn't hurt, adding 3 more minutes. Thank you.

	statephone:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 13:46 GMT	5 points
	Boy, that was fun!

	@bmo Same thing happened to me. Solution is to skip the decimal points and just put in a three digit number, although this should be fixed

	theillest2000:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 18:22 GMT	4 points
	Great quiz! Would love to see a lot more of these on here.

	EasyTarget:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 18:54 GMT	-1 points
	I don't know how anyone got Tony Gwynn correct because as soon as I hit .3, it gave me an X. How can anyone enter the correct answer if it shows up as wrong when entering the first two characters?

	EasyTarget:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 19:00 GMT	6 points
	Ah, thank you BentKangaroo for the answer, I should have read the other comments first.

	notaratface:	Sep 5th, 2011 at 21:53 GMT	3 points
	I should have mentioned that entering a decimal point was not necessary, as this was obviously the source of the problem with the Tony Gwynn answer. That being said, it should not have mattered whether we entered a decimal point or not, and I can't figure out why this occurred with Gwynn but not the others as the data entry method for Gwynn was totally consistent with the others. Thank you for alerting me to this, thumbs up (arrow up) to each of you, whatever the glitch was, it's no longer there.

	Great idea!

	tripx11993:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 02:31 GMT	0 points
	I consider my 23/50 on my first try pretty impressive. Tough, awesome game!

	let_it_go:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 04:40 GMT	2 points
	this was incredibly fun and i disagree with the above comment... less time should be given (to make it harder to cheat). if you did well either you're a helluva guesser or you own too many baseball cards for yer own good. wd ratface!

	I know next to squat about baseball, so I just entered .290 for everyone and ended up in the 68th percent! I wonder what the optimal "same average for everyone" score is.

	deej:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 19:20 GMT	4 points
	Some of these are surprisingly low - especially Pete Rose and Rickey Henderson. Great quiz! Five wizard testicles, or whatever.

	pita:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 21:29 GMT	6 points
	@deej, not really. Rose played til his mid 40s, which took a bit of a toll on his average, and never hit above .350, unlike Gwynn, Brett, Carew, Boggs, etc. Henderson wasn't known as a high average hitter, but was effective because he walked so much, and then of course could turn those walks into "extra base hit" with steals. The quiz itself was brilliant.

	notaratface:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 13:25 GMT	2 points
	Part 2 of this quiz is out if anyone's interested, thanks.

	Etheridge2:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 20:47 GMT	7 points
	Wow every now and then somebody comes up with a new quiz idea, and I go damn that was fun, why didn't somebody think of that by now...and this is one of those times...LOVED IT

	aaronwhitehead:	Sep 9th, 2011 at 20:52 GMT	3 points
	Very original. Very good.

	Wolfie0890:	Sep 9th, 2011 at 21:03 GMT	3 points
	5 Globes for Execution!

	quizbrotha:	Sep 10th, 2011 at 15:26 GMT	2 points
	I surprised myself by getting some of these 1-2 points off. I got Bonds right on the money even though i am in no way a Bonds fan. I'm proud of my 19! 5 globes and nominated!

	strosfan85:	Sep 10th, 2011 at 18:09 GMT	2 points
	Loved this game.. too bad i sucked at it.. though i did get my favorite player Craig Biggio right on the nose :P

	johnlk:	Sep 11th, 2011 at 00:19 GMT	3 points
	A potential issue - if you type in "yes", you get credit for a correct answer to each question.

	BJack:	Sep 11th, 2011 at 15:27 GMT	2 points
	The range is give or take 10 points, not 10 percentage points.

	BJack:	Sep 13th, 2011 at 20:49 GMT	0 points
	It's also not 0.10 percentage points. 10 points are 1 percentage point. Please don't vote me down for making helpful comments.

	notaratface:	Sep 13th, 2011 at 22:39 GMT	1 point
	@BJack: You are quite the stickler, aren't you?..I'll change it to points, and I'd be much obliged if you could also send correction notices to all those baseball play-by-play announcers and writers I've been listening to and reading the last several decades...and I'd vote you up again if I could, but I have just this one Sporcle account. Thanks.

	BJack:	Sep 14th, 2011 at 09:03 GMT	2 points
	@notaratface: we don't really have baseball announcers and writers in the UK, so I didn't realize that this (percentage) points thing is endemic. >_>

	jprg1966:	Oct 3rd, 2011 at 17:01 GMT	2 points
	Awesome! Great idea!
