Good morning!
It’s the second week of Opening Day starters on Sporcle Saturday. Today, you’ll be tasked with naming first basemen and third basemen to get the Opening Day nod.
First and third base both have some stalwarts over the course of the Roaring '20s. As with last week, there are 212 entries for you to name: how many can you get? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- I’ve allotted 25 minutes for completion attempts.
- All players are grouped by season.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- One guy on this list holds the most Opening Day (and consecutive) starts at third base: 9, running the length of his White Sox tenure, 1923-1931.
- From 1908-1917, the White Sox started a different guy at first each season. It wasn’t until Chick Gandil started three straight from 1917-1919 that that particular spell was broken.
- Frank Isbell was the Sox’ first-ever Opening Day first baseman. But he also started Opening Day at third base in 1903, second base in 1906 and 1907, and then again at first base in 1909.
