Trivia Tuesday and Following Us

Alex Rodriguez grounded into a big double play in the Yankees loss on Sunday to the Angels. A-Rod has grounded into 142 double plays over the last 10 years. That's the 14th highest total in baseball over that span. It is a pretty diverse group: 7 players have over 220 homers over those 10 years with 3 players topping 300. 4 players have over 145 SB during that span with one over 200. 2 of them have scored over 1000 runs.

Can you name the top 13 players on that list? No cheating. Answers below in the comments. Try to keep it to guess per person (you can guess 13 players, but only try to post once).

Good luck. Answers will be posted tonight.
