30, but I would have gotten several fewer if they weren't listed alphabetically.

I started to play this and realized I have no idea how to play this. What? I was looking for Babe Ruth because I assumed he was one of the few players that got a 30 WAR whatever that is as both a pitcher and a hitter.

So my score was 0. I got a 0 on this. I missed 34. I think. I don't know really, because I don't understand the rules.

I'm going to give away an answer here, but...

Edgar Martinez has 30+ WAR and is a hitter. Pedro Martinez has 30+ WAR and is a pitcher. Therefore, Martinez is a correct answer.

Definitely. I'm pretty sure I'd have had no idea what to do with "Frank" and "Jim" without knowing what part of the alphabet to think about.

26

That was harder than I thought it would be. 3 or 4 I probably should have gotten.
