Baseball on Sporcle

[Valadius]

One of my big time-sucks is quizzes on Sporcle.

Can you name all the current Triple-A cities?

[nymr83]

I got all the Shakespeare plays, I'm resigning as sporcle champion.

[DocTee]

Can't believe some of the names in this one!:

I'd forgotten about the existence of this time suck.

24. Missed the Twins, Astros, Mariners, Rox, Angels, and Red Sox.

I destroyed that AAA kwiz only I couldn't spell albuqueque correctly.

[Valadius]

Can you name the last 5 managers for each MLB franchise?

[Guest Edgy DC]

NO!

[Valadius]

Here's one that made it to the front page the other day:

Can you name the New York Mets Opening Day lineups between 1991 and 2010?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Courtesy of AA, the deceptively-trying 2010 roster quiz.

A disturbing 34/47. I blame my headache, and my dumb, dumb brain.

I got 41 on that one. (only missed one player on the team all season, Opening Day 2Bman actually) I'd fail the other ones hard probably. AAA cities? hah.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I did OK with 42. Somehow I forgot Nieve was a Met despite his 200 appearances in April alone. And I kept guessing Manny Aybar when I mean Manny Whathisname.

No, Manny Ramirez wasn't a Met this year.

Damn you Frank Catalanatto and your brief, forgettable tenure.

He's one I missed who also cost me time, because I tried at least 7-8 different spellings.

I also missed Bay.

[Guest attgig]

i sucked on that AAA quiz. I just started listing out mid-size cities that have teams in other sports but not in baseball. that helped a lot..but still missed a bunch.

[Theoldmole]

16 AAAs - not so great, but I did get Reno, which only 21% guessed right.

And this is kinda horrible to admit, but I did fill in all the blanks to Jingle Bell Rock.

[Valadius]

I highly recommend this one.

[Frayed Knot]

I knew all the AAA cities but didn't get full credit because I couldn't figure out how to spell Albuquerque (I swear I did it right at least once but it didn't accept it).
The quiz also didn't accept 'Gwinnet County' for the Braves although if you typed in their former home of Richmond it instantly converted to their new name.




Like most peeps I'm sure, got all the short names in the HR race but missed the three long ones. Again spelling nabbed robbed me of one answer.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I knew the 11-letter answer, but it took me so many spellings to get it right that I couldn't even take a crack at some others.

Yup.

[HahnSolo]

I got the 9-letter one, missed the 10 and 11.

[Fman99]

Another good one, how many of the 100 instances of 200 hit seasons between 1989 and 2010 can you name? I got 78.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

ugh, 59!

[Frayed Knot]

Double ugh 53 !!

I quit with like two minutes still left because I got bored with random guesses which was about all I was left with.
Somehow I managed to not guess Vlad Guerrero which alone would have pushed me up into the sixties.

[Guest Edgy DC]

With a clock ticking down and the pressure on, too many guys outside of my division become "you know, that white outfield guy on the Angels." I'm sure fantasists do better on such quizzes than I do.

(Speaking of that guy, how does he get 240 hits one year and never before or since get more than 166?)

Steroids, mostly.

[HahnSolo]

80 for me. Spent too much time on the 91 Rangers (3 guys with 200 hits!). I only got the one with the most recent Met connection.

Seven of 26 for me: http://www.sporcle.com/games/mlbwinsleaders_a2z.php
