	It seems odd to exclude guys who debuted before 1900, when you could just list anyone who played in 2000 games after 1900. Honus Wagner played almost 2300 games with the Pirates after 1900, so it seems strange to leave him off.

	The Tigers also had Sam Crawford with 2114 (1903-1917), and Norm Cash with 2018 (1960-1974). http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/DET/leaders_bat.shtml There may be others for other teams (check Baseball-Reference.com), but I knew that those 2 guys played quite a long time for the Tigers.

	@ indyjeff I had to make a judgment call. It left off Wagner but also would have included a handful more that nobody would know. Given that people seem to agree with your comment, I'll make the adjustments and just include everybody. @burtdoggy meant to include Cash but somehow forgot. Crawford didn't meet my original criteria but will now be included.

	Very similar to this game (http://www.sporcle.com/games/DJC83/2000_games_team) ...

	maybe you could make guys who were over 1900 games with one franchise bonus answers. For example, Dimaggio & Tony Perez surprised me.

	Thanks, sknapp. I went though Baseball-Reference and checked all of the other teams. With your original criteria (post-1900) only Crawford and Cash were missing. Next year, if he plays for the Rockies, Todd Helton will be their first. In the 154 game seasons (pre-1961) and with the current 162 game schedule, a player will have to average 150 games a year with one team for 13+ seasons. As of today (9/5/10) there have been 16,856 players in the history of MLB, but only 61 (your quiz total) have played 2000 games for one franchise (0.0036%). Very, very rare. Great job on your quiz.

	@DJC83 Sorry about that. I usually check before creating a quiz but of course didn't for this one. Didn't mean to step on toes.
