All Time On Base Leaders Quiz
 
I didn't want to hijack Leon's "What's Your Age?" thread, which was veering towards this topic, so I thought I would put my question here.

In the history of Major League Baseball, only 7 players have got on base at least 5,000 times. It's not hard to Google this, but if you can get all 7 without looking I would be duly impressed. I got 6 by the way.

Don't need you to list your guesses, just tell us how many you got right.

Four (4) for me!

BobbyStrawberry 11-30-2021 10:02 PM

I only got two! D'oh

h2oya311 11-30-2021 10:44 PM

I'm pleased to have gotten 5 (admittedly I had 8 guesses, not 7)...one I "knew" because he's my favorite player of all time. I was surprised by the two I didn't get and also by a few who didn't make the list. Nice trivia question!

Fun pop quiz.

I got 5 correct.

1,2,3,6 and 7.

My wrong answers were # 11 and #13.

I should have gotten #4, I would have never guessed #5. I pulled his card from a pack as a kid towards the end of his career. It was before cable, and I never really saw him play.

brianp-beme 12-01-2021 01:15 AM

5 for me, but the name of the player in 5th position popped into my head at one point, so I am going to award myself with having 5.5 correct.

UKCardGuy 12-01-2021 01:17 AM

I got 3...

a few of my answers were runners up in the top ten so I'm consoling myself that I was close...doh

mrreality68 12-01-2021 04:31 AM

Got 4 of the 7
Should of have a 5th
Surprised by 2

Wanaselja 12-01-2021 05:01 AM

5/7 for me. 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 12, 14 were my guesses.

Bliggity 12-01-2021 05:05 AM

I did pretty well, got #1, 2, 3, 7, and then 11, 13, and.....47 (oops on that one).

Jim65 12-01-2021 05:06 AM

I got 6 also. Missed #5

Carter08 12-01-2021 05:34 AM

4 for me. Of the 2 I missed one makes sense. The other blows my mind.

earlywynnfan 12-01-2021 05:58 AM

I got 5 correct. Mad at myself for not getting #2, probably never would have come up with #5.

tiger8mush 12-01-2021 06:43 AM

And the top 2 on the list may never see the HOF

jcarroll84 12-01-2021 06:47 AM

4 of 7 for me

molenick 12-01-2021 07:14 AM

Got 1,3,4,6,7. Missed 2,5 (guessed 8,9 instead).

bnorth 12-01-2021 08:21 AM

I got 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Can't believe I never guessed 2 and I just know very little about how great a player 6 was. The 2 I was wrong about was 9 and 11.

I think you are the 1st to guess #5 though. Kudos to you for that.

#5 is the toughest I think.

scmavl 12-01-2021 10:03 AM

1, 2, 3, & 7. I got 8 & 9, but picked another one that was way off in left field.

Peter_Spaeth 12-01-2021 10:15 AM

1 3 4 6 7 my others were 8 and 10.

Joe Hunter 12-01-2021 10:16 AM

Got 5/7. Missed 2 and 5. Wrong answers were Mays and Ripken.

D. Bergin 12-01-2021 11:14 AM

Got 5. I brain-farted on #4 and #5 was a complete surprise to me.

I also had #16 and #19 slotted in there, so I wasn't really close at all on the last two. :D

riggs336 12-01-2021 11:31 AM

I got 5: 1,2,3,4,6.

Golfcollector 12-01-2021 03:10 PM

Dang, I thought I had it, but alas no luck. I had 1,2,3,5,7 9 and 12.

totally missed on #4...Dang

chadeast 12-01-2021 04:54 PM

Sorry, edited to remove names. Def my bad, apologies for my gaffe.

Fred 12-01-2021 05:00 PM

5 correct.

1,2,3, 4 and 6.

My wrong answers were # 11 and #14.

Crap, how'd I miss #7.

To me #5 was a surprise.

Gorditadogg 12-01-2021 06:54 PM

[QUOTE=chadeast;2170246]Amazingly 6 of 7. I mostly just thought about who had the most ABs all time.

jb67 12-01-2021 07:31 PM

I got 5.

Piman58 12-03-2021 07:26 PM

I got 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 with my other guesses that turned out as 9 and 47.

isiahfan 12-04-2021 11:59 PM

Close...

LeftHandedDane 12-05-2021 09:14 AM

Those were exactly the same as mine. Very close!

Tyruscobb 12-05-2021 09:57 AM

5 correct. I can’t believe I missed no. 4 on the all-time list!
