As Spring Training begins, the time is once again upon us to count down the weeks until Opening Day. Here at Sporcle Saturday, the tradition is to test your knowledge of the Opening Day starters around the diamond. Each year, I've added a decade to the total which means that we're now going back to 1960!
As the title notes, this week we'll start with the catchers and pitchers to make a start on Opening Day. With the new decade added, that's 122 entries: how many can you name? Good luck!
