Pocoroba was the Catcher in the early 90's before Benedict. He was that guy you got in every card pack.

That's the only player I didn't remember at all. I sent this to my dad. He said Biff was a pinch hitter/platoon catcher late 70s, early 80's. He also claims to have went 20-20 on the quiz. I called bullshite

17 outta 20.

Would have been 18, but I refused to believe Bob Watson ever played for the Braves. Figured that had to be a trick.

Wasn't alive for much of the 80s. I feel like I would do very well with the 90s forward.

I'd need to start at 1990. Got 10, and guessed on most. Blauser, Lemmer, etc.

Surprising you missed Kommisk he was to be the next Mickey Mantle and they (TBS) let you know it.

I think it's why he wore 7 even.
