"Eaton" doesn't work...you have to put in his full name for it to take

Is it too stupid for you, or are you too stupid for it? We'll have to serve up a harder one or easier one for you depending on your answer...

I enjoyed the quiz, but I was confused by two different answers for the same person, and didn't realize you wanted both first and last names. I answered Ruth and Ryan, and I was trying to think of who else might have tied their records. By the time I saw the one for Cobb and realized what I needed, I'd wasted too much time. Maybe for slowtops like me you could add in parentheses (first name) and (surname).

I don't think anybody could argue against knowing what you're looking for when saying "3 outs and it's over"... But if you wanna be precise or avoid somebody being a jerk (which seems to happen often enough in the comment section!) > technically 6 outs per inning.

For me, "Xenia Scouts" was a bridge too far. Do college summer league team names have much relevance to MLB trivia? Not in my mind.

Maybe a question reference players with X in their name (Xander Bogaerts, Xavier Nady, etc.) or something along those lines would've been more accessible for MLB fans.

It's a baseball, not an MLB, quiz, but you can see we were desperate to find an answer that fitted that letter! The 2% success rate speaks of a seriously obscure answer. You've made better suggestions, so we've updated it with one of your ideas - thanks.
