I got seven out of 10, missing Nos. 5, 7, and 8. But that is admittedly with some educated guessing on a few, rather than knowing for sure the exact rule.

What's amazing is the wide range of scores for some of the players, coaches and ESPN analysts, which you can see here:




    Number of correct answers on our 10-question quiz:

    Players

    Brad Ziegler (D-backs), 10
    David Ross (Red Sox), 9
    J.J. Putz (D-backs), 8
    Andrew Bailey (Red Sox), 8
    Justin Morneau (Twins), 7
    J.J. Hardy (Orioles), 7
    Evan Longoria (Rays), 6
    Daniel Hudson (D-backs), 6
    Glen Perkins (Twins), 5
    Chad Durbin, 5
    Jayson Werth (Nationals), 5
    Adam Dunn (White Sox), 4
    Jimmy Rollins (Phillies), 4
    Greg Burke (Mets), 4
    Jeremy Guthrie (Royals), 4
    Elliot Johnson (Royals), 4
    Skip Schumaker (Dodgers), 4
    Josh Collmenter (D-backs), 4
    Michael Young (Phillies), 3
    Sam Fuld (Rays), 3

    Manager/coaches

    John Farrell (Red Sox), 9
    Bob Geren (Mets), 8
    Terry Steinbach (Twins), 6
    Tom Foley (Rays), 5
    Derek Shelton (Rays), 5

    Media

    Dave Schoenfield (ESPN.com), 7
    Jayson Stark (ESPN.com), 6
    Tim Kurkjian (ESPN), 5
    Doug Glanville (ESPN), 5
    Dan Gladden (Twins), 4
    Jerry Crasnick (ESPN.com), 3
    Aaron Boone (ESPN), 1


I would have really loved to see an umpire or ex-umpire participate, but I have to believe ESPN would have difficult time convincing any to do so. So how'd you do?

I'm not trying to get too excited, because this could just be July 18th all over again. Both have Baltimore and Toronto left, and then end the season in THE MOTHER OF ALL (division) WARS, so scheduling isn't so much of a factor either.
