More sporcle- .400 hitters

[howard38]

Do you guys consider all of the 1887 .400 BAs legit? If BBs were not counted as hits that year only O'Neill & Browning are left above .400 and IMO they are the only two who should be counted.

I think that MLB has adjusted the 1887 BA's to what they would be without the BB's, lowering O'Neill's average, e.g. to .435, I think. Hugh Duffy's .440 mark from 1894 is the official single-season record.

I got 21. Better than I did on the HOF quiz. Missed Bill Terry. Aargh.

15/35. Only player I missed in the 20th century was Sisler.

I got 25, I too missed Sisler (not sure why) but I admittedly got Yank Robinson completely on accident as I was throwing HOFer names out there thinking maybe Wilbert had done it during his Baltimore days.

Edited to add: Where do you see the percentile?

[WWGjohn]

I got 19/35 but didn't see where that translated to a percentile. I wasted a minute before I figured out where to put the answers. Should have looked more closely before I started.

I got 25 including all the 20th century guys, and did exactly what Rhett did. Typed in Robinson and got Yank by accident. Who would have guessed Bob Caruthers?
