Another tough one. 90/154

Can you name the likely Cy Young winners from before the award was introduced in 1956?

Can't believe I didn't think of Ruth. Got some with random guesses. Missed Hallahan for '31 Cards.

Missed this one, Spider. But I only got 16.

Did better on this one.

Can you name the players who have won the Silver Slugger Award winners for catcher?

56/65.

Only one I missed that I'm mad about is Terry Kennedy because he's a former Card.

Missed that one, Numbers. I got 23 too.

I always guess McPhee these days. I missed Appling and Whitaker
Today's was really tough - for me at least. And long. 20 minutes with 285 answers. So make sure you have time for it.

Can you name the players who have started the most opening day games for their team at each position?

I got 160/285.

Harder than hell. You have to think of every player that ever played and you have to get about 15 right answers per minute. Even if I knew all the answers, I might not be able to type a name every 4 seconds. I got 126.

That's one of the more fun, challenging ones I've seen. I got 183, but mostly because I feasted on the newer franchises. Figure I've been alive and a baseball fan for most of the existence of the Mariners, Diamondbacks, Expos, Blue Jays, Rockies, and Marlins.

The White Sox and Indians always kill me on these things because I know jack [expletive] about their franchises before approximately 1987. I also struggle with the Rangers.
