I won't even attempt because that would skew the results down.

Fun

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got 47/58, which is 95th percentile.

Based on how other people answered, the easiest I missed was Jazayerli—I hadn’t realized he created PAP (always thought that was Woolner, but I guess he just did followups). Also missed Pappas, which I’m sort of embarrassed about too, but he was sort of before my time. “Hardest” one that I got was Shane Jensen, which reminds me, I need to get him to come to my campus and give a talk next semester. :)

Anyone find the easter egg?

I figured I’d type in everyone’s favorite sports broadcaster just for fun…

The easter egg is hillarious

That is really funny

Well played quiz maker.

Proud father of Juan Carlos Perez. Think Albert Pujols at a position to be determined.

I got 50!!!

I’m proud that I got Jensen and Palmer right. But I missed Pappas.

I can't believe I missed Davenport.

Horrible oversight on my part. The rarest I got were JC Bradbury and David Smyth (and the only reason I knew David Smyth is because I used to play around with base runs all the time freshman year). The most common ones I missed were Davenport and Palmer.
