Really pathetic score of 113 for me. I did it on my iphone, so was at a huge disadvantage. I went from '50s-90s thinking of each player's rookie card to get me going. Then worked the 40s, 30s, etc. started freaking out about time so lost my focus when I got to the 1880s-1920s.

The quiz didn't work so well on the phone. I would type in Ted Williams and it filled in Ted, Billy, Dick and Smokey Joe but only gave me credit for one. I think my score would have been a bit higher otherwise. Plus I was immediately thrown off when I typed in Torre, then Maddux and got no credit for either. That's why they teach you to read the instructions before starting. I lost a minute trying to figure out where I went wrong. Then I started spouting off umpires, which did me no good!!

Good mental exercise for sure. I've tried thinking of all 306 HOFers while driving into work, so was disappointed w/ my results. Especially since HOF rookie collecting is my game. I should know them all inside and out!

Incredible that someone got 252! Nice accomplishment. Did the quiz tell you that you either (a) cheated or (b) work for an Auction House after you finished?

That's funny, I did exactly that! Then I stared at it for awhile before I typed in Schmidt, but then the name disappeared so I typed it in again. THEN I figured out what was going on.

Wound up with 93, and pictures of another 20 players without names in my head.

You guys are machines. My pitiful score of 99 landed me in the 57th percentile. Key misses include Willie Mays and Rickey Henderson. Thanks for posting this.

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
