Before someone asks why I picked such an arbitrary number let me explain it out. I made this quiz to show some of the best pure strikeouts pitchers to pitch for each team for the last 12 years. Just calculating total strikeout does not really represent some of the better strikeout pitchers for teams because stats are pretty easy to accumulate over time. Like Tim Wakefield would easily be on the Red Sox, but in this he is not. Originally I was going to use a nice normal number like 10 but for some of teams their were players that accomplished the feat 3 times and I dont think thats enough games to value them as strikeout pitchers. I decided striking out 8 players in game was still a pretty nice accomplishment and it illustrated the point I was trying to make nicely. Obviously some players fell through the cracks due to longevity but I think this list turned out pretty well to my point. If you disagree feel free to state your opinion and I'll take that into mind if I create quizzes like this going forward.

Should be Johnny Cueto, not Johhny and it's Zack Greinke not Zach. And I'm not sure what you can do with the 5-way tie with the Royals, but honestly, nobody's going to type in "5 Tied" as an answer, so, although I don't have any recommendations other than just maybe putting Greinke and Meche as the only ones for the Royals, I feel like it should be changed in some way.

I really enjoyed this quiz. Your attempt to "really represent some of the better strikeout pitchers" was quite successful. I look forward to more quality quizzes from you, sir.

Fixed Johnny and Zack, also the Royals thing shouldnt be a problem, all five players last names are accepted, so as long as you guess one of the five you should be good. Also for someone who knows like every stat ever they can still guess 5 tied and get it right.

O and if anyone is curious the 5 royals pitchers to accomplish this 4 times are Mac Suzuki, Darrell May, Luke Hochevar, Kyle Davies and Jeff Suppan. You can thank me for not making you guess all these stalwarts lol.

As a young Sox fan in the later 90's, your life was put on hold whenever Pedro was starting, what he did from 98-01, in the league he was in, during the height of the Steroid era, is one of the greatest stretches of pitching, if not greatest, in baseball history.

In my mind, despite disliking the Sox, Pedro will always be one of them, not a Met.
