The Detroit pitcher under Zambrano isn't in the HOF.

Under Ortiz, the active players listed as playing for Houston, Oakland, and the Cubs do not currently play for those teams, which is confusing. Same for the Oakland pitcher listed under Zambrano and the Atlanta pitcher under Vazquez.

dedalusrex: the players' teams listed are determined by who they have played the most games with. as for maxcanning, I don't know why I thought he was in the Hall-of-Fame

The site's willingness to compare players of any era to one another (and not sticking to position with the non-pitchers) makes this a borderline impossible quiz to do really well on. Even with Posada, where you'd think it would be easier to come up with catchers, you get thrown for a loop with the Caminiti comparison.

I'm sorry you feel that way, and I totally get it. When I was making this quiz, I was sort of surprised by some of the comparisons. Just thought it would be kind of fun though...
