	surprised not on list: Tony Gwynn, Ichiro. Then again I don't know that much about baseball

	^^^ Gwynn can thank Cal Ripken Jr. for his omission.

	This is kind of fascinating! I can understand why you started with 1941, but why stop at 1980?

	^^^ Because the differences between first and second get increasingly tinier and when next year begins all of the recent years will have a chance to be incorrect. I'll try to update this at the end of next year too, but I wanted the quiz to stay relatively accurate even in-season.

	Ichiro is currently third for those born in 1973. Interestly, he leads Nomar Garicaparra--who's in fourth--by nearly 300 hits despite the fact Nomar's first game in the Majors was in '96 and Ichiro's was in '01!

	Stats were updated June 5, 2010 and a couple of leaders changed. Mostly, though, the gaps between 1 and 2 are large enough that the leaders will stay the same through this season.
