Each year The Crimson challenges its readers to take a Baseball quiz at the start of the major league season.
This year's edition of the quiz appears below. Each question is worth a total of 10 points.
It you score above 200, you should probably write this quiz next year. A score between 150 and 200 rates you a seat at the Kirkland House training table; above 100 qualifies you to talk sports in Leverett; 50 to 100 marks a promising student of the game; and less than 50 means you should spend more time in front of the TV with your friend on weekend afternoons this summer.
