Folks, you've nearly made it: we've reached the penultimate Sporcle in this little Opening Day sojourn. Yes, this week is the final postion not yet covered: designated hitter. As you well know, DH only goes back to 1973, so there won't be as many entries this week.

Next week will be the big one(s): every Opening Day starter dating back to 1960. It's going to be lengthy: three separate Sporcles covering nearly 600 entries. This week, though, you're only tasked with 48. How many can you name? Good luck!
