With the latest update, I added Mariano River, Derek Jeter, and Chipper Jones.

(and kicked off Al Kaline, Jim Palmer, and Bob Gibson)

Not sure why kicking Kaline, Palmer and Gibson off was necessary. Those are guys who, while not in any way obscure players, would separate those who truly know baseball history. Each would be on the Mount Rushmore of their respective franchise.

Jim Palmer was the pitcher to watch if you wanted to see it all look easy. Definitely a big name in the state too.

One point in favour of Kaline getting back on this list is that, for many years, he was also the Tigers' colour commentator - in an excellent combination with George Kell that I'd say was a match for the Lou Whitaker-Alan Trammell pairing whose games they called.

Nothing against Jeff Bagwell but it baffles me that he's at 90% for this list.

I would have sworn Bagpipes had played at least one season with the Red Sox, but I looked up his career and he played all his minor league ball in the Red Sox organization before making his MLB debut with the Astros.

Was traded for Larry Anderson. One of the biggest lopsided trades in history.

There is no obvious relation between the quality of the player and how often they were answered. Musial and Banks are at the bottom of the list, with Bench, Koufax, and Williams not much higher. The most relevant factor appears to be era. When you wrote your comment, Bagwell had just retired. He's a lot lower now.

I always find this funny. Yastremski is spelled EXACTLY how it sounds. If someone knows how to say his name (acknowledging that some people don't), then spelling it is easy.

Hey joeythelemur, it is spelled Yastrzemski and the z is silent. Nice try though!

Ha, nearly 6 years later and I see I took a few well deserved lumps. You got me (more accurately, I got myself), not sure why I was so certain on that one, especially since I have always used the "Yaz" shortcut on JetPunk.

Getting old. Remembered every one from the earliest to the Brewer, then nothing from then on except the Orioles iron man and the two Yankees, being a Yankees fan.

With the recognition of the NAL as a major league, Jackie Robinson officially has played for more than one major league team (Kansas City Monarchs in 1946)
