Sporcle Saturday: Opening Day lineups since 1970

Folks, the big day is here! Over the past several weeks, we’ve gone position by position, looking at who has been in the Opening Day lineups going back to 1970. Today, it’s the whole shebang: every guy who has started on Opening Day. When I started this danged thing back in mid-February, I didn’t know we wouldn’t have the 2020 Opening Day lineup to include, but here we are.

Next week, we go back to smaller quizzes, with more random themes. Several of you have offered good suggestions for some themes, and I thank you for those. You’ll be seeing some of those in play moving forward. For now: sit back, relax, and strap it down: how many of the Opening Day lineup guys can you get? Good luck!

The guy I missed got a lot of MVP votes last year, and I think I was blocking him due to Shark Trade Trauma.

This massive quiz is greatly appreciated during my enforced confinement, Ted. Thank you.
