seawolf17 Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Thought we had a Sporcle thread, but I guess not.Got 45/55 on the "Can you name the lifetime .300 hitters with careers beginning since 1947?" quiz.http://www.sporcle.com/games/minnmich/lifetime-300-hitters-with-careers-beginning-since-1947
HahnSolo Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 51. The "years and teams" column helped immensely. There's probably about 20 or so I never would have guessed without the help of that column.
Fman99 Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I got 46 but there were only 1-2 that I missed that I should have gotten. The last 6-7 guys I never heard of or would not have guessed were .300 career hitters.
metsmarathon Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 i got 44. whiffed on one or three that i should maybe have known. fringey guys, sure, but they were kinda on the tip of my tongue. the remainder, nope. not at all.
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I got 40, including the toughest one (5% success rate). I whiffed on some of the recent guys, including the guy that played for the Dodgers, Mets, Padres and A's. I should turn in my badge.
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 48. All the ones I missed were late '60s-early '80s folk, save one popular latter-day player (CIN-DET). If I were more of a gambling man, I definitely wouldn't have bet against my getting one of my errant schotts.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 42/55Two of those guys I should have gotten except that they seem to have been completely erased from my memory until I saw their names.
