About This Quiz
If you know anything about sports, then you'll know that baseball is one of the greatest in the USA. The game involves a bat, a ball, pitchers and catcher and lots of complicated rules that only the truly devoted have figured out. Each team has nine members, and the goal is to get as many runs as possible, to beat the opposing team.ÂÂ
While the origin of the sport has been greatly debated ( some say Great Britain, some say France and some say Germany), we can all agree that it was huge in The Big Apple by the 1850s. The game has since become one of America's favorites and is now synonymous with hot dogs, pretzels and all the great things the US of A is known for. But it takes a huge fan to know more than just the rules of the game. Real fans know the legends of the game - the ones who made it what it is today. And we want to find out if you're one of those people.ÂÂ
So, if you think you've got what it takes to name all the legends by just looking at a picture, go ahead and take this quiz.
