Can you name the MLB top 10 home run leaders 2000-2009?

79/107 because I forgot how to spell Sexson, Palmiero, & Texiera (still can't).

[Joe Shlabotnik]

85

Not sporcle this time, just a trivia question.

During his 24-year career, what position did Pete Rose play the most games at (939 out of 3531 games)?

[Jmodene]

I'll guess first base, if only because he hung around so long after he could no longer play second, outfield, or third base.

[Radbird]

Yep. Although I never really thought of him as a corner IFer. 160 career homers and a .784 OPS aren't what come to mind when I think of HoF first basemen, so maybe there's not that huge of an injustice here?

1B 939
LF 672
3B 634
2B 628
OF 306
RF 287
CF 65
TOT 3531

Glad you posted those numbers, because it brings up a question I have about B-R's breakdowns. How do you play 672 games in LF, 65 games in CF, and 287 games in RF and still have another 306 games as "OF"?
