Good quiz here re: most HR in the 1950s (the top 16, or every player with 200 or more):

I got 15 out of 16, and the last one I got was the #2 guy, and only with a few seconds left. Not a name that really jumps out at you.
Thanks for this post crazystengel. I got the answers instead from Bill James Baseball Historical Abstract page 224.
The answer to both the 300 HRs and 1,000 RBI is Duke Snider and Gil Hodges.
Willie Mays had the most SB in the 1950s.
I got the first five in order with no problem on this quiz and then had to just fire wild guesses. Most of them wrong. I had no idea that Yogi had so many, and I thought that Banks, Williams and Mays ranked higher. I did not get half of them at all and was surprised that Mr. Aaron was not there. Good quiz.
