13 of 18, but of the five I missed, only one was a modern-era pitcher, who I should have gotten.

Can you name the categories given the career leaders?

I went into this one convinced I'd get them all, but I got 24/28.

Missed:
Spoiler: show
WAR, WP, Losses and shutouts. Actually ran out of time instead of just giving up.

That was a fun one, although I only got 148.
Spoiler: show
Can't believe Robinson wasn't an answer to a single question. My biggest misses were Yaz and Murray, although not getting Staub cost me at least two right answers. Four HRs in a game killed me. I used to know more of those. Best guesses were Rube Waddell, Willie Keeler and Chuck Klien. Worst guess was Frank Taveras.

Better than I did - 22/28.

Missed a lot of the old-timers. Worst categories were SBs and shutouts. Lots of pre-20th century dudes in those. Kicking myself over not typing in Dimaggio (guess I didn't see the hitting streak category), Campanella as a 3x MVP, and Simmons for catcher RBIs (inexcusable for a Cards fan).

Got 164.

As always, I forgot about Don Sutton. As a Brewer fan, you'd think I'd remember him, but I never do. I missed Staub as well, and also guessed Frank Taveras, as well as Omar Moreno.

Also, as usual, I forgot about all the recent ones, missing Verlander, Kershaw and Santana....

Can you name the stat leaders for each MLB team since 2000?

108/180

Shouldn't do these on a Saturday morning when my brain is shut down and I'm watching the tournament.

Spoiler: show
Vernon Wells, Torii Hunter, and Carl Crawford were the most egregious misses.
