I've gotten as many as 61 out of 100 without hitting a mine (or cheating). My knowledge of the current players is hurting me a lot more than the historical ones. See how you can do.

ditto. I only got 38 and was blown up by the guy who finished with 317 homers.

Even though you can type just the last name and get credit, beware if you do that it will give you an incorrect answer if the first part of the last name reflects a wrong answer.

48, also blown up by a guy with 317.

Took my time getting to 48, and was benefitted a few by the same last night of the guy I was thinking of hitting a different name too.

That's tough. Not only does the mind start blanking on tons of all time greats, but you also are hesitant to go with guys you aren't quite sure if they are top 100 or not.

Then of course there's the guy that you put on the list who you figure is in the mid 300's, and his name hots up in the mid 400's and you think "how TF did he hit that many HR's?"

Yeah it's weird how off I am on some guys. I figured Ripken had around 350 and he had 440 something. I havent tried it again, but it's really irking me that I'm missing so many of them.

I made it to 53. I couldn't think of anyone else who could be close. I got every current player, but I know I'm forgetting some greats '60s-'80s guys.

Here's another good one:

I got 28.

I managed 44 out of 50 on that one. Of the 6 I missed, I don't think I'd heard of 5 of them. I could have given up 2 minutes sooner if I could have figured out how to spell Galarraga right.
