    Same here, as did 46.2% of those who took the test.

    I got an 18 tied for lowest of those who will admit their scores. And I'll also admit that 4 of my correct answers were complete guesses, gosh I feel baseball stupid.

    I got a 40.

    I missed #12, 13, 16, 19, 24, 28, 31, 40, 43, and 46.


    I should have gotten a couple more of those. I should have gotten Sam Crawford on #12, but I thought it was a trick, so I went with the player with whom I was least familiar (Wilson). I also should have gotten #13 (inexplicably, I said Baker). On #19, I correctly eliminated Hornsby because the qustion asked about the AL record, but chalk me up as one who answered Sisler. On #24, I knew that Mathewson was an inaugural HOFer, but I answered him anyway. (Dumb.) On #28, I answered Ott.

    Actually, I believe the question asked who had the highest BA in the American League - and with Lajoie, that would be correct.
    Unfortunately, I picked Sisler, and I knew better.

    I got 32 right, and am kicking myself for a couple of my answers (see: Sisler, highest AL BA).

    39 -- I'm surprised.

    32, even though I must admit I had a slight advantage because I'm rewatching the Ken Burns Baseball series right now.

    28. Should've been 29, but I misread a question.

    True, I took it in aout 5 minutes and in review I saw about 4 questions I dropped the ball on big time.

    Same strategy, and same score. I'm kicking myself over a couple, but I think 29 is respectable.

    Re: Take the ESPN Baseball Quiz

    I got a 39, I'll take that any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

    I only missed one question each on the 1845-1899 and 1920-1945 sections, three each on all the others.

    42 - but 6 of them were correct guesses

    so really, we'll mark it as 36
