The Thursday Thinker: Plesac-Plus Closers

On Saturday, Brewer all-time saves leader Dan Plesac turned 50 years old. Plesac accumulated 133 saves over seven seasons as a Brewer en route to 158 for his career. That's tied for the 66th most all time. How many of the 65 pitchers ahead of him can you name in ten minutes?

The rules remain the same: Post your score in the comments but do not comment on any specific answer until after 6 pm Central time, so everyone gets a chance to try it out without having it spoiled for them. And, of course, there's no reason to cheat here, because there aren't any prizes.

I will be absolutely stunned if anyone can get all of these without cheating. If you do, be sure to post your time along with your score in the comments.

Have fun, and don't forget to post your score in the comments!

If you've finished that one and you're looking for more Brewer Sporcle today, here are this offseason's other quizzes:

Stopped with about 5 minutes left… the names were just not coming to me. Pretty hard quiz.

Mark Attanasio is the best.
