I have seen a few different Facebook games where they challenge you to guess who by showing you greats that just about everyone recognizes, plus they are almost always multiple choice.

I have been doing this for a while now. Every time I log onto baseball reference, there are 12 player photos in the top left. If you hover the cursor over the photo, it tells you who the player is. I assume we all see the same players and they seem to change daily, if not every couple of days at least.

Try your knowledge and see how many you get right. It is humbling. I got the 70s and 80s down pretty solid and maybe some of the newer players, but if it is black and white, I start to worry. It can be quite difficult. I seem to average 5-6 each time I remember to try. I got 6 today.

I'm the biggest collector on the planet of one of them. I know 2 others absolutely, 2 I'm pretty sure of, and almost no clue on the others. I am bad at this.

Fun game! I've got a different set of players, though. I can't figure out how to cut and paste them onto here.

I either use snipping tool on a PC or I do a screen shot on my Mac.

I guess it seems to be different every time I log on! I only got 4 this time and missed a Dodger (I should be ashamed!!!).

All my baseball card knowledge from my childhood helps me with the older players 70-80s and then into the 90s it starts to get harder unless they are better names. Going back in time, the 50s-60s are so-so, then it just gets downright hard and I have yet to get one of those turn of the century pics.
