I know Anthony- Ruth is a toughie.

Okay, I'm going in again. Will report back in 20 minutes.

Improved to 151, still left too many out including ones I got the first time.

Brian- I too got Kell as I was typing Kelly. I threw Smith out there and got two- just took a shot and it worked.

132, but when they flashed the names I didn't get at the end, I felt like a dimwit. Lots of obvious names.

My strategy was to get 19th century guys first, then Negro Leaguers, then other obscure players. After that I went team by team and finished by storming through the 1980s-2000 classes. I like to go class by class. I will try it again and see if I repeat

I was surprised that I got 123. I got credit for some that I wouldn't have come up with just due to typing some of the others - Kell for example.

I missed some real obvious ones from post war era and only got the Negro leaguers if their last name matched someone else I knew. Collecting HOFers from Goudey, E103, E107, and N300 helped a lot as well as starting to collect the 500+ HR and 3000+ hit guys. I was left missing people like Nolan Ryan though.

Some were frustrating that it wouldn't take, but I guess the managers were not included.

I'm embarassed to say that I almost missed Cobb, Mays and Aaron, but got them in under the wire. Way too many easy ones were left out there.
