O/T: Can You Name The Members of the Baseball Hall of Fame?

[Orioles1954]

Hello,

I found this to be a very fun game for all of those who "think" they know the Hall of Famers. I finally got all of them on the fifth try. Let me know how you do!

I gave up when I couldn't spell Yaz's last name.

[chaddurbin]

i went backwards from latest to earliest...but got jim rice wrong so i gave up.

[Orioles1954]

Don't give up! Winners never quit and quitters never prosper

[ErikV]

I've played this game before and forgot all about it!
Got 80 names, or about 1/3 before I got stuck.

[uffda51]

I got 98 before running out of time. Somehow I missed DiMaggio.

[Sixtofan]

I blame my kids for distracting me, clearly I would not have forgotten Ted Williams otherwise!

[Kenny Cole]

157. Missed some real obvious ones.

[barrysloate]

I got 118 but was more upset over the ones I missed. I went through the Yankee line up and forgot DiMaggio too. Missed too many easy ones.

I also don't understand why I didn't get credit for Wright, despite both Harry and George.

I guess you can play again. Might try it later.

[Peter_Spaeth]

183. Weak on Negro Leagues and forgot some obvious ones.

[barrysloate]

Peter- 183 makes you a Super Chief, or something like that. I was doing well for 15 minutes and then started getting blocks. At one point I was running through the Old Judge and T206 sets, then all the Topps sets, alphabetically, and still missed easy ones.

[Orioles1954]

Well, after a few tries I did memorize all 253 Perhaps they consider the Wright's executives or managers only? All managers and executives are not included.

[barrysloate]

James- I don't know how you can get them all, that's almost impossible. Once you get down to say the last five, how do you come up with those names?

And while Harry was mostly an executive, I assumed George got in primarily for his playing career. They also wouldn't accept Mack or McGraw.

Barry,

As a writer for H&S, I see so many cards that come through all the time, that perhaps it's just second nature? Perhaps I just have a good memory? I got all 195 countries and was able to point them out on a map too. I dunno, maybe I'm just a baseball nut
