Love it. I'm dvr'ing the whole series and watching it as I have time and/or want to. I'd LOVE to be on that show but alas, I don't work for an mlb team.

Agreed, it's a great show.  They should let fans be on it.

I think it would be entertaining if they had players on it.

Seriously. I fare pretty well with the questions. I could DEFINITELY hold my own against most of the guys that I've seen on the program so far. The stuff that would **** me is MVP winners and even World Series winners. I can't remember that **** for the life of me. But when it comes to stuff like the top 15 stolen base leaders, guys who have won 20 since 1980 and players who were HOF teammates of Willie Mays On that stuff I come close to running the table. The minutea is the stuff that I'm good at, and a lot of the questions on this show are right in my wheelhouse. Of course I'd probably gank out if I was actually there and on camera. It is a VERY fun show to watch though and it's about time that MLB Network did something like this. The NHL and NFL Networks need to follow suit. I would think true fans, such as most of us who post here on a regular basis, are eating this show up. I know I am.

There was a guy last night who answered all 20 MVP's from the 1980's. That was impressive.

The stuff I'd seriously kill on is pennant and WS winners going back to the 1910s and onward.  That and career leaders in stuff like homers, stolen bases, etc are also in my wheelhouse.

Most of the guys I've seen on the show are fucktards.  One guy couldn't identify Barry Bonds as being in the top 15 home run hitters in the NL.

Seriously, they're pulling employees of the teams rather than actual FANS.  Most of the people around this website would slaughter these idiots.

I think a lot of it is the choke factor. You can see that some of these guys know the stuff but they just draw a blank in the moment. I'd be afraid I'd do the same thing.

That's exactly the opposite of me. I don't know why I can't remember those type of details very well at all but I can remember that Omar Moreno stole over 80 bases.

Yeah. I saw that guy.  He was a true hammerhead.

My daughter didn't believe me when I told her that I could name pennant and series winners that far back.  I pulled up a webpage and had her quiz me.  10 or 12 questions later, she believed.
