About This Quiz

In every era of Major League Baseball, superstars have looked a bit different. 

The game's early heroes in the first half of the 20th century were patriotic, larger-than-life figures like Ted Williams and Babe Ruth. While each one had their own style, on the field they were known for their tough demeanors and hard-nosed style.

As the game matured a bit and America exited war mode in the '50s and '60s, stars became a bit more personable. The diversification of the league thanks in large part to Jackie Robinson helped to open the door for African-American stars like Willie Mays and Roberto Clemente.

But to many people, few stars had as much personality as those in the modern era. Just think of guys like Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire, engaging in a friendly-yet-competitive contest to see who could hit the most home runs in a single season. Later, the emergence of interesting personalities like Tim Lincecum and Manny Ramirez added a new dimension to the game, a perfect development for the social media era.

With so many different kinds of players leading the way for the MLB, how do you choose the one that you root for most? Besides the obvious choice--their team--we believe you should align with the star who embodies your beliefs about baseball on and off the field. Step up to the plate and hit these 30 questions out of the park and we'll match you to an MLB legend!
