Baseball on Sporcle

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Two of those guys I should have gotten except that they seem to have been completely erased from my memory until I saw their names.

Two guys I got I never would have gotten but they shared a surname with one of my other guesses and they popped up.
