39 out of 50.

Notes:
Odd to see that I was part of only 14% that knew the inventer the curveball. (Won't give it away for those who haven't taken it yet.)
Got the 1936 HOF class question wrong. Shocking that any of those were left off.
Who is the only player to hit at least 50 home runs and strike out fewer than 50 times in a season? I got this one wrong, but it was pretty strange to see who has gotten the most votes since he was known to strike out a ton.
What the hell does where Vince Scully attended college have to do with anything?
Everybody knew how many post-season games Mr Cub played in and who threw the most no-hitters.



Anyway, I think I know a lot about the history of the game, but I'd give a lot to know the future of the game. :)

Even more, only Kevin Mench of the players that took this test, knew more than me and I kicked the crap out of Steve Phillips.

Friday 13th, you tell us you made a million in sports wagering.

Maybe I read it wrong, some other food trip maybe.

Do tell us the story though, I await...

If I make a million at it, a story of le trip promised!!!

I will not sue Statfox for posting it, your story. My story, well, can't take no money there also. They are part of le trip!!!

That Catholic thing...
