Don't know if anyone here plays sporcle (online trivia), but I did just do a pretty cool one: See how many Orioles opening Day starters you can name since 1991...you have 15:00.

Enjoy:

I cheated and looked. Embarrassingly, there were 4 I had forgot had started an OD.

I got 187 of the 220, but gave up with three minutes left. Did miss some obvious ones, unfortunately.

Got Paul Bako though!

I got 201 out of 220, and can't believe some of the ones I missed...

I'll try other teams later on. It's very addicting.

Oh, good job guys, I hadn't gone to the link. Thought you were talking SP only.

Take a shot and play, Chris. It's fun and totally frustrating at the same time. Much like life.

I got 121 in the first 4 minutes and my short attention span got the best of me.

Not to mention that I was 2 years old in '91.

Excuses, excuses.. :D

There are a lot of 2000-2009 themed games if you want to space around..very addicting.

I can remember Deivi Cruz and Sam Horn, but can't remember Melvin Mora apparently.

I forgot Albert Belle and Aubrey Huff, though I don't consider that a negative.

I played that game or one of those games a few years back. That always seems to happen, you remember the obscure players who played on OD but can't remember the obvious choices.

I forgot Luke Scott, but you know I'm a liberal, so that may or may not have been an accident. ;)

Harold Baines was the other "easy" one that I'm disappointed in myself for forgettting.

That was a lot of fun.

I got 142 out of the 220. I can't believe I forgot about Harold Baines, Jeffrey Hammonds and Melvin Mora though! :shock:

To my credit though, I did manage to name every single OD Starting Pitcher. :D

Glad you liked it..There are so many cool things on there...I'm telling you, entire days have been wasted there. Good times!

I'm going to tackle the rest of the american League teams this next week or so.

I just tried my hand at naming the opening day starters for all teams since 2008.

That one was pretty tough, but fun.

I'll do that one next..

My memory is better from the 90s than it is in recent history for some reason.

Definitely a lot of fun.

I'm a bit embarassed by my performance. I only got 160 and couldn't remember a few I definitely should have gotten. I couldn't remember Luke Scott or Aubrey Huff. How, I don't know!
