	Great quiz ideas but the execution is really lacking.. looks like you made this in 45 seconds.

	Agreed. Nice idea, but it needs work. You could write out the full team names. Also, accept Yaz for Yastrzemski.

	disagree on the yaz. learning to spell yastrzemski is a rite of passage.

	Ted Williams 1949 is ridiculously close. His only season hitting over 40 home runs and he was less than 1 point away from the batting average leader. Would have been an unprecedented 3rd Triple Crown as well.

	this was done in less than 2 mins good idea but sloppy quiz i think u should give the years first

	Other than the sloppy team names (Bos, Ny, Sf, Stl) I don't know what execution is really lacking. All of the players are spelled correctly, capitalized properly, in an order, and correct as far as I know. Maybe cut the time, this is pretty easy, at least to me.

	It's Derrek Lee.

	@killerbill Your comment has NO punctuation, and yet you are complaining that this is a "sloppy" quiz. Even though I agree with you, don't you see the irony there?

	who are these bums!

	PS: I think that the commission of sporcle baseball quizmasters should agree once and for all on whether to accept "yaz" for Carl Yastrzemski. At first when I made quizzes, I was steadfastly against it (a true baseball fan will learn to spell that weird ass Polish name!) However, I then realized that I would accept other nicknames frequently (eck, bambino, igor, pudge), so was it really fair not to accept "Yaz" which was very much his nickname? Yes, it allows the dumb guys who think his name is spelled "Yaztremski" to (Arguably unfairly) get a right answer, but after lots of thinking, I have started accepting "yaz." Only as a nickname though, not to help the dumb guys. :)
