From an ESPN online quiz...

[VAUmp]

7) The Twins have the bases loaded and two outs when Justin Morneau wallops a grand slam. Josh Willingham, the runner on first base, misses second base as he circles the bases. The Athletics appeal that Willingham missed second base, and the appeal is upheld. Willingham is called out. The Twins should score two runs on the play. True or false?

#4 is very poorly written.

Great comments: at least people are honest about how little they know.

 

Half the questions have 65+% of the 80K quiz takers giving the wrong answer.

 

No doubt this group would all score well!

[FearNot]

Great test had ball a with it!

[soapbox]

I didn't like the way they worded the BOO

[noumpere]

Easy peasy.  I do find it surprising that only 1 question has more than 50% of the respondents giving the correct answer (as of right now - it obviously changes by the minute)

The best online baseball rule quiz I've seen.  I love all the people that think they know the rules then only get one of these right

Dan Gladden, our home radio announcer, and rat extraordinaire, scored a 4.

 

Weird.

And a monkey would get 5 . . . .

where do you find those scores?

 

edit: never mind, found the article with the low sample size.  I was hoping they had given it to say 15 coaches and 30 broadcasters and 50 players or something.

8 of 10. Not terrible. I screwed up the BOO one and the crossing the foul line one. Damn lineups get me every time.

[Dragon29]

80% for me, too.  Both because I didn't read the questions carefully enough.  Of course, w/both my boys in college, I tell them to always read the entire test before beginning to answer (there's a real reason for that that doesn't apply to this test) and didn't take my own advice.

 

Doh!

I didn't like the way they worded the BOO

 

translation:  "I got the BOO one wrong" ! 

[conbo61]

9/10 here.

 

(Wish I did that well in college.)

[Richvee]

I got all ten. Didn't think it was that difficult. Amazed at some of the percentages of wrong answers by people "in the know"

[RichMSN]

10 of 10.  

 

Average score last I checked -- 3.7 right out of 10.  Yikes!

7/10 missed the homerun force play just like I did on the fed test as well as the hit by batted ball on the steal and the conference one. All three brain farts

[mstaylor]

10/10, almost missed the conference question but I caught it.

Where is that story?

[BRUMP]

anyone else really disappointed they didn't give it to either hawk harrelson, john sterling tim mcdouchebag, or joe buck?
