Hints
#7. I hit a ball high and deep. I'm waving my arms...hopes ball stays fair. Oooh, it hit the foul pole. Home Run! We win!
#13. I hit lots of HR's in the 1960s. When I retired I was 2nd to Babe Ruth in all-time American league home runs.
#15. My claim to fame is I threw lots of knuckle balls, and won over 300 games. My brother won over 200 games.

Wow. Twelve baseball players that I've never even heard of. :-\\ Of the Hall Of Famers I only knew about three (by name).
Hmmm...maybe I should do a soccer players quiz. Just to stump the rest of the world. ;D

#12 is Lou Gehrig. The rest I'm afraid are incorrect. Some were good guesses though.

Not, not Mike Piazza. #1 was a pitcher. No one won more games between 1970-1975 than he did.

Yes..yes...and yes!
Perfect 3 for 3.
(tabulates scores...thinks....scratches head)
Oop, I think you just went over the limit there (of 6), you probably didn't notice (neither did I , right away)
Meh, that's OK. :) I went over the limit once in a whistledog quiz myself. My punishment was that I had to read 10 decadeology posts. After a few tylenols and a couple of hours of therapy, I was fine. ;) :D ;D
The quiz is completed now. Think I'll do another soon. Maybe sports athletes.
