After a couple of email requests, I'm adding some positional information to
the quiz.

OK, here's the scoop. I have taken everyone who was eligible for election to
the hall this year plus one ringer. For hitters, I scaled their career
statistics to 650 AB; for pitchers, to 200IP for starters and 80 IP for
relievers. If folks would like to do some guessing (no fair looking them
up!), I'll tally them and post results in a week or so. For each line, the
questions are:
1. Who is this guy?
2. Does he belong in the hall?

Hint: the ringer is a hitter, is retired, is not in the hall and is no
longer eligible for election by the writers.

Second hint: The column headed "D" reflects primary position played (for
the player's prime years). The player gets a "A" if he played either C, 2B,
or SS, a "B" if he played 3B or CF, and a "C" if he played LF, RF, 1B, or
DH. Warning: in a couple of cases, I had to guess at whether an outfielder
played center.
