Can you name the 200-200 HR/SB Club Members? - sporcle
This is one of those perfect sorts of quizzes. It requires actual depth of knowledge (there are some guys on here you'd never think of), but most of your time will be spent typing in names that you're sure had to be on there (seriously? You missed Ken Griffey? both of them? where's Dale Murphy? Tim Raines? Jimmy Rollins has to have averaged 15 or so home runs those years he didn't hit 30...right?), and, if you're me and see conspiracy in everything, checking baseball-reference.com for those guys that you're sure are on the list -- Raines was surprisingly not close to 200 HR, it's a safe bet Ken Griffey Jr.'s not swiping 16 bags this year, and so on. And the guys that are on the verge of the list are all people I didn't even think of, which is pretty inexcusable (Cesar Cedeno needed 1 HR, Barry Larkin is a mere 2 HR off the list, Toby Harrah, Amos Otis and Ray Durham are all in the discussion).
Although I originally balked at including a "primary team", I think it's probably necessary once you get below a certain level of obvious. And let me assure you, if I'd seen the entire team list for CIN's 305/304 hitter...wouldn't have been any difficulty in getting him.
