Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Earlier today, Andy Gray of Sports Illustrated linked to a list of “The 40 Most Undeserving Starting Lineup Figures Ever.” Since the old action figures are in the news—or at least the link roundup of a weekly sports magazine’s website—we figured now was a good time to re-run this quiz. Can you identify baseball stars (and run of the mill players) based on the action figures they inspired?

I remember my dad had two of these figures of his favorite players, Kirby Puckett and Kent Herbek, mint in the boxes for display.
It tortured my brother that he couldn’t play with them, take them out of the box, or even look at them for too long.
