Good morning!

With Jim officially posting this year's list of non-roster invitees, it's time to once again test your knowledge of NRIs past. Jim's list goes back to 2010, and I've supplemented with names I've found through a variety of newspaper archives: between the two, the list dates back to 2001.

Your task is to try and remember as many of these guys as you can. In all, this quiz now has 149 names. How many can you get? Good luck!

Quiz Parameters

  • I’ve allotted 25 minutes for completion attempts.
  • For hints, I’ve provided the year and the position of the player.

Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:

  • Pitcher is the most common position to appear, comprising 73 of the 149 entries.
  • The fewest NRIs to appear in a season is 2, in 2010 and 2002.
