Erstad is also the only player to win a Gold Glove as an outfielder and as an infielder.

In 2004, a record long held by Hank Aaron was broken... what was the record and who broke it?

I'll give you a couple of clues... this guy played for both the Cubs and the White Sox during his career. He also finished with a lifetime slash line of .000/.000/.000

It's incorrect, but not a bad guess.

Another fun one -- of course you can just look this up, but try it out.

In order of most to least games played at each position, can you name the fielding positions for Steve Lyons career? I'll post the answer tomorrow. Coincidently, it is the same order as innings played at each.

Oh I forgot to put this in there, but he also played at DH a handful of times so throw that in if you want. Really just coming up with the top five in order is pretty good... I definitely guessed wrong when I tried this question.

I would have bet money that #1 was 3B, but it was really CF... by 8 games and 1.2 innings. After that was 2B over 1B by 3 games (but over 250 innings) and then LF, RF, DH, SS, C and then P (3.1 innings and 4 games at C, and 3.0 innings and 2 games at P)

Probably because I mostly watched him in Chicago where he did mostly play 3B, but Boston mostly played him at CF.

There have been 28 pitchers in the history of MLB baseball with the first name Tyler. 27 of the 28 pitched in this century. Only one pitched last century. It was the mid-90s. Name him.
