I got 146 out of the 160 players. Those mid 90's teams had some real forgettable people on them.

105! I’m mad at some of them I missed.

also 105

I missed a lot of the 90s Twins and a few of the more forgettable 2000s players. Forgot Livan for 2008 (maybe I wanted to forget that one). For some reason it took me a minute to list Torii – it would have really been embarrassing if I hadn’t caught him!

I got 102

Man 15 years ago is a long time! The season I missed the most though was 1998. I only got two of ten.

only got 105

and I am sad to say that I forgot three players that I should never have missed; Canadian 3rd baseman, 1st base current announcer, and HOF DHer… sad.

Glad to see Alexi has as bad a memory as me.

which HOF DH did you miss?

I got Molitor, but missed Winfield.

Only got 103. :\

Not being old enough to remember the earliest years on there didn’t help. Knowing Radke was a big help, though, since he filled in so many spots.

It’s really not fair that you have to know how to spell Mientkiewicz’s name.

That's half the fun of sporcle!

Geography buffs need to know how to spell Liechtenstein, Kyrgyzstan and Reykjavik.

Baseball fans need to know Yastrzemski, McGwire and Mientkiewicz.

There’s even a quiz for this….

Oh, sporcle.

Always there to help a college student procrastinate. I justify it by pretending I’m learning things. :)

P.S. that one you posted? 4. :(

No... never posted a sporcle...

Just have had similar spelling issues…

Most baseball quizzes

accept “Yaz” for Yastrzemski. Also, I had to google Dougie’s name to get the spelling. Don’t know if that counts as cheating or not.

Haha, I don't think that's cheating.

You knew the name. Totally counts.
