Good morning everybody, and welcome. Please, take a seat and prepare yourself for the cumulative exam. As you know, we've spent the last several weeks studying White Sox Opening Day lineups, position by position. Last week, we received perfect scores from asinwreck, kenwo, pnoles, and our fearless leader, Jim Margalus. Today, all of you have the opportunity to take what you've learned and apply it to the entire baseball diamond! In case you're wondering: in order to achieve an "A" grade (90%) you will need to correctly input 261 of 290 names. Good luck and godspeed!
(One final note: this is a HUGE quiz; as such, you may wish to use the direct link at the bottom and enter names directly from the Sporcle site)
