	Awesome quiz!

	tk925:	Oct 12th, 2009 at 21:40 GMT	5 points
	This is a great quiz. The Rays are praying to get more seasons out of Longoria to displace the bottom two on that list. It's also comforting to know that the Indians' most recent player on their list last played for them in 1939.

	Barzuniac:	Oct 13th, 2009 at 23:30 GMT	2 points
	Much harder list to crack in the modern era than is the home run list.

	Barzuniac:	Oct 13th, 2009 at 23:31 GMT	2 points
	The Indians thing points out why it's so hard to make these nowadays - they've had plenty of great hitters since, at least in the 90s they did - but they all got away and spent productive years elsewhere. Manny Ramirez and Albert Belle and Co. should have been career Indians. Franchises have to start seeing the value of that.

	Seeing Lugo on a list with all these greats makes me laugh.

	mungar:	Oct 31st, 2009 at 20:52 GMT	2 points
	How can only 52% have gotten Carl Crawford? He is the default answer on any baseball quiz that mentions Tampa Bay.

	stanvick:	Oct 31st, 2009 at 20:54 GMT	2 points
	Jose Vidro finally made it onto a Sporcle quiz!

	WCRoentgen:	Oct 31st, 2009 at 20:56 GMT	1 point
	Terrific and difficult quiz. So many all-time hitters played on more than one team (Aparicio, Dawson, Foxx, Simmons and Burkett come to mind). Wonder why Cleon and Chipper Jones have different percentages?

	JohnJF:	Oct 31st, 2009 at 21:00 GMT	2 points
	People can complain all they want about how hard it is to spell Yastrzemski; it is no comparison to Schoendienst (and I'm a Cardinals fan).

	Brett Myers' wife is praying he never makes this list.

	@dpetty: you really thought that in the last 5 years (they moved in '05) 5 guys on the worst team in baseball had 1200+ hits? Use a little common sense.

	Theosaurus:	Oct 31st, 2009 at 22:43 GMT	3 points
	@WCRoentgen: the reason for that Cleon and Chipper Jones have different percentages is because people put the first and last name in for one and/or the other.

	The Mets top 5 is pretty sad.

	quizzical:	Oct 31st, 2009 at 23:32 GMT	6 points
	To be accurate, it should really say FRANCHISE hit leaders, not team leaders.

	rsplenda477:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 00:17 GMT	2 points
	This was an amazing quiz!!

	deej:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 00:35 GMT	2 points
	quizzical is right. A franchise refers to the fact that a team moves form city to city, but strictly speaking, the nats and expos were different teams - but the same franchise.

	WOW i dont even deserve to call myself a fan anymore, the only Cub i forgot was Mr. Cub himself

	@mybeagle Rose played for the Phillies and Expos for 5 years...

	Paladine_42:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 02:51 GMT	1 point
	Arizona's hit leader is elite...

	Others on here have had pity and accepted Yaz, you should too. And Red S. :) Age has its privilege; if you think the Mets top five are pretty sad, it's because you never saw them play. A few world champions in that list, as it happens. And I'm a Yankee fan. Same to you.

	Commodore:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 04:25 GMT	-2 points
	You could accept YAZ for the #1 Red Sox hitter of all time...Love #8 but I will never be able to spell his name. Great quiz.

	John Lambeth:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 08:27 GMT	3 points
	Amazing how much better the hit totals are for the Rockies top 5 than the Mets top 5.

	cmkeller:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 10:13 GMT	2 points
	This Royals fan is very happy to see George Brett as the image for this quiz on the Sporcle Home Page.

	FroznMbryo:	Nov 2nd, 2009 at 01:47 GMT	2 points
	As said before, every Indians fan should protest their team's poor management by holding placards up at games with the top five hitters' names and years of birth. Only one was born in the twentieth century--and he was born in 1902!

	switzr1:	Nov 2nd, 2009 at 04:22 GMT	1 point
	Why is Yastrzemski so hard for people to spell? Just sound it out, then place the silent "Z" right in the middle. Lucky for us all, Porfirio Altamirano only had one career hit for the Phillies!

	Cal:	Nov 2nd, 2009 at 08:47 GMT	2 points
	This was pretty sweet - I'm surprised that the Tigers and the Pirates seem to have the best hitting pedigrees. And Toby Hall has to be the worst player on here.
