    Baseball on Jeopardy quiz

    Baseball on Final Jeopardy!

    Can you get the answer to every baseball related Final Jeopardy! clue?


    36/41
    In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

    I got 32 - and, careful kids - I missed 3 more on spelling errors

    36 would be tough to beat, I think

      I got 27 but I didnt have time to answer the last 5.

      Avg score is 20. 36 is unbelieveable!

            I managed to get 39, but it allowed multiple guesses. If not for that I would have probably had about 32.

                  You guys are scary. I only got 31 and that was with frantic typing and multiple guesses for some, and the fact that the context of the quiz made some of the answers obvious. Those who missed some for spelling, do you mean you spelled it a bunch of times and still didn't get it? I'd have missed several if I had to spell it right on the first shot. Just curious is some people's browsers were acting differently.

                    There was like 15minutes on the quiz timer for me, I don't get the running out of time or frantic typing. Did I play it wrong somehow?

                      The frantic typing would be for multiple guesses

                      What's the deal with the Walter Johnson reenactment? I never heard of that.

                        I think it's just a matter of if you aren't sure of the spelling, you'll make multiple guesses. if you think you know it, you'll figure the answer is wrong - not the spelling.

                          No, you're just smarter than the rest of us. Actually, since the avg score is 20, we're all pretty good.

                            And then find out you were right, just inputting it wrong.

                              I just type really fast and play a lot of trivia lol. I was just surprised because I hit "give up" with like 6 minutes to go.
