	Wow...4 playes on this list were traded by the Marlins.

	Buy 'em and sell 'em.

	Troy Glaus was traded from the Blue Jays to the Cardinals, not vice versa.

	rk559:	Jul 21st, 2010 at 12:35 GMT		0 points
	Thanks, I had Glaus all mixed up.. it was after the D'backs traded him to Toronto that he hit 38 HR.

	Any baseball quiz that includes Brian Giles gets 5 stars from me. He's a captain of the Hall of Pretty Good.

	Not sure if it could be compiled, but it would be interesting to see a list of who has hit the most HR's after being traded Midseason. Manny ramirez (Red Sox-Dodgers) and McGwire (A's-Cardinals)would probably both make the list.

	Etheridge, been thinking about that.. may have something for you at the trade deadline...

	what about Dave Kingman? Hit 36 homers in his 1st season with the Mets after being traded from the Giants I believe.

	rk559:	Jul 21st, 2010 at 17:06 GMT		0 points
	According to B-R, Kingman was purchased by the Mets from the Giants for $150,000. I'll add him as a bonus. Also want to point out Ruth was purchased by, not traded to, the Yankees from the Red Sox.

	Great Quiz, by the way.

	sobdennis:	Jul 21st, 2010 at 20:39 GMT		0 points
	great quiz. I might say that it is getting picky to not include Ruth and Kingman here only because there were no other players involved. This quiz does point to arguably the worst trade a team ever made when the Reds traded Robinson, though.

	sobdennis, the question is, "Can you name the players who hit the most HR after being traded?" Ruth and Kingman were not traded. Case closed. A quiz could be made about most HR in 1st year with team, but then you'd also have to include rookies and free agents.

	pwt, I applaud your swift and decisive punishment for my odious behavior. How dare I subject someone taking a baseball quiz to another baseball quiz? Justice is served.

	deej:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 01:04 GMT		-1 points
	The quiz is good, 1) but your source is crap, and 2) it is obnoxiously just advertising another one of your quizzes. Quizzes like this must have a valid source. Please change it to a valid source and I might change my score up from a 1.

	rk559:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 01:47 GMT		0 points
	Oh good. There is no source. This is original research. You want me to put "baseball reference", don't you? Yes, it is imperative that I confirm I used actual statistics to create this quiz. How would anyone check these mysterious numbers if I don't cite Baseball Reference! Really, this is what you criticize? My "obnoxiously" "scummy cheap" deed is helping someone who likes this Home Run quiz play another Home Run quiz, while you gave a "fine" and "good" quiz a 1-star rating. Who's the real bad guy here?

	PWT3:	Jul 24th, 2010 at 00:43 GMT		-3 points
	Nice sarcastic responses, you jackass. This isn't just me here, you did something that's not kosher at this site. Advertising for oneself is frowned upon unless it's strictly relevant. It's definitely frowned upon when you do it in a sneaky way as you did here. If people like your quizzes, they'll click on your name and play your other quizzes. Your sarcastic, defensive responses when you're clearly the one in the wrong, just compound the problem. Apologize, edit the fake source out, and move on. No need to go making enemies.
