I've taken it a variety of times
I think the first time I got around 115.
I don’t think I’ve ever done better than the 150s.

64
better than I thought I would do… Did horrible in the Negro league selections. Seems I have a disconnect between the early HOF classes and the recent ones.

This sounds awesome, it will be my reward for plowing through the settlement agreement I've got to review this mornign

I was about to read a story about the Greenburg/Ryan bid, but...

do you think joe torre
should be HOF (i know he’ll get in as a manager) as a player? or not enough games at catcher as opposed to 1b?
Meh
I’d say he’s borderline, but given his post-playing career efforts as a manager, I guess he’s probably in.

SPOILER ALERT
Fun quiz. I’d suspect that just given the sheer number of names to type in, I’d forget someone obvious every time I did it. I got 82 and there were probably only 10 more really worth kicking myself over, somehow including Williams, DiMaggio, and Young, as well as Earl Averill, who’s the great uncle (or some such) of the owner of my neighborhood pub.
I couldn’t believe how many obscure names were guessed more often than Jim Rice.

I tried spelling
“Yastrzemski” about six different ways, even tried just putting “Yaz” – no luck.

I only got 49
I’d assume that’s more than the average human, so ha! Negro Leagues did me in as well as a lot of the earlier Hall members.
51
Got a few by just putting in random last names of players I could think of
"Hell's frozen over, Pigs are flying! The Saints have won the Super Bowl"
Shreveport Captains in LSB H2H Fantasy League
84
which is disgraceful for me….I forgot Carlton Fisk and Bruce Sutter!!!!
