The back of Gooden's baseball card says he hit .264 in 1992. I'm gonna guess that year.

Finally, some wrong guessin'. Good guessin', but wrong guessin'. At lease you guys have company.

The back of Gooden's baseball card says he hit .264 in 1992. I'm gonna guess that year.

And he homered off of Bryan Hickerson and OPS'd at .649. The best batting year of his career. You are correct.

I may be the first person to make a wrong guess here.

Olerud, 1B, the year he hit .354, which I'm guessing was 1997.

1997 was the year of good Olerud, not great Olerud.

I feel like the year of Olerud was 1998

Is this just a comment or a guess?

1998 should have been the Year of Olerud. But a loose doping regime turned it into the year some juicebox in St. Louis hit a gajillion homeruns.

Not a guess. Just saying the year he was referencing was 1998, not '97, to see if he wanted to change his guess.

Need to get some points back. '85 Carter was the better year. I'll say Gary, in '85, at catcher, with a candlestick.

Boom! Points for Carter and restoring your lost point gives you a four-point turnaround. You're tied for the lead with six Mets still on the board.

We may expand this quiz for a round two and three.

McReynolds was better than I ever gave him credit for.

I guess because Mitchell went on to be an MVP, I always think of that trade in a bad light.

Sheesh, you guys sure are Silver Slugger-literate! Five winners remain!

Not only is that correct, but I wasn't crossing dudes off fast enough. There is but one plated persuader left on the board.
