Can you name all the 1993 Giants?
Because I'm a nerd, I just threw together a Sporcle quiz - can you name the 1993 San Francisco Giants? I thought y'all might enjoy it - at least those of y'all who're long-time fans. Even for those of us who remember the season all too well, it's awfully tough to remember all the obscure guys...

I got 20
kind of a sad showing. I can’t believe I didn’t get Rikkert Faneyte!

I cannot.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

You are now my favorite poster.

I don’t know how I forgot Trevor Wilson.

I cant believe I forgot Scarsone, Martinez, and Deshaies. The rest I dont even recognize the names.
Thing A
One thing that surprises me
Is that more people don’t get Steve Hosey. He’s a guy I remember pretty well, because he had a good amount of hype as a prospect. I wouldn’t expect most people to guess him, but I would’ve expected him to be guessed more that, say, Paul Faries or Craig Colbert or Terry Bross.
I’m also surprised Bryan Hickerson is so rarely guessed. Only about 10%.

Adopted Giant: the probably soon to be ditched but still awesome Fred Lewis
Kevin Rogers, too. Especially since he has a common last name – I’d expect more people to guess him randomly, like is obviously the case with Erik Johnson!

I kicked myself for missing Hickerson

And only because I remembered Steve Hosey. I tried Decker as well, but that didn’t hit.

got 25 of those, which is a decent enough showing but there are so many more I thought I should have known

I hit 27 of those, but forgot Dravecky, shameful shit.
